200 What is a string?.md

Strings are not those you find on the violin or your shoe laces, in the digital world they are simply a collection of characters. A name, title, paragraph and description are all strings because they contain alphabetic and non-alphebetic characters in a specific order.

A string starts with the double-quote character " and ends with the same double-quote character ". Everything in between is the value of the string. The easy way to think about strings is air quotes.
