String Functions and Operations

By Raja Afzal Shah


What Is String?
A string is a data type used in programming, such as an
integer and floating point unit, but is used to represent
text rather than numbers. It is comprised of a set of
characters that can also contain spaces and numbers.
For example, the word "hamburger" and the phrase "I
ate 3 hamburgers" are both strings. Even "12345" could
be considered a string, if specified correctly. Typically,
programmers must enclose strings in quotation marks for
the data to recognized as a string and not a number or
variable name.
