String

Updated: by — 1 min read

String is a type of data, and it’s basically just any kind of text.

You can recognise a string because they’re always eclosed in single or double quotation marks.

  • "Hello there" is a string
  • 'Hello world' is a string
  • "123" is a string
  • 123 is not a string but an integer, which means whole number.

So next time an application, API or whatever asks for a string, they basically just mean any kind of text (and not a number).
