Explain String data type.
Answers
A string data type is traditionally a sequence of characters, either as a literal constant or as some kind of variable. The latter may allow its elements to be mutated and the length changed, or it may be fixed (after creation). A string is generally considered a data type and is often implemented as an array data structure of bytes (or words) that stores a sequence of elements, typically characters, using some character encoding.
String data type is explained below :
- In computer programming languages it's a certain data category which is used to denote or specify certain content or text rather than numericals.
- This data category consists of specific characters which can contain either spaces or numbers.
- All the strings should be closed using
quotation marks so that the specific data is not denoted as any variable or numerical.
- For example if variable "1.25", is denoted as "Hello World!," then the variable is denoted as string data type.
