Strings

Strings are sequences of characters used to represent text in computer programs. They can include letters, numbers, symbols, or spaces, like words or sentences. For example, the word "Hello" or a phone number like "123-456-7890" are strings. Strings are essential because they allow computers to handle, display, and manipulate text-based information. They are stored as ordered collections, meaning each character has a specific position within the string, which can be accessed or modified as needed. In programming, strings are fundamental for communication between users and software, such as displaying messages or accepting input.
