String

In Python programming, a string is a sequence of characters enclosed within single quotes ('') or double quotes (""). It is used to represent textual data, such as words, sentences, or even numbers, that can be manipulated and processed by the program.

Strings in Python are immutable, meaning that once a string is created, its content cannot be changed. However, new strings can be created by concatenating or manipulating existing strings.

Here are a few examples of strings in Python:

  • name = "John" : This creates a string variable named "name" with the value "John".
  • message = 'Hello, world!' : This creates a string variable named "message" with the value "Hello, world!".
  • sentence = "I have 10 apples." : This creates a string variable named "sentence" with the value "I have 10 apples.".

Strings can be accessed and manipulated using various built-in functions and methods in Python. For example, we can concatenate strings using the "+" operator, access individual characters using indexing, or extract substrings using slicing.
