Add a string to each string of an array

Dear all,

I have an array of strings 

a <- c("2008q3","2005q1","2004q3")

I would like to add to each a[i], with i = 1,2,3

the following string "IMT",

such that in the end I could get

b <- c("IMT2008q3","IMT2005q1","IMT2004q3")

Is it possible to accomplish this without a loop command?

Thank you.

Best,

Borissssssssssssssss

Your question has already been answered but as an aside
note that the zoo package has a yearqtr class that can
be helpful when dealing with quarterly dates.
