String Basics

A string is a sequence of characters in computer programming that is typically used to represent text. In most programming languages, strings are enclosed in double quotes (“like this”) or single quotes (‘like this’).

Strings can be concatenated or combined using the + operator, and individual characters within a string can be accessed using indexing or slicing. Strings are often used for tasks such as input/output operations, data parsing, and manipulation of textual data. In addition, string manipulation functions are commonly available in most programming languages to perform operations such as searching, replacing, and formatting string data.
