Mastery 18 - Strings
Strings are what can be called a sequence of Unicode characters. In python we can recognize strings because they usually go inside single quotation marks or double quotation marks. In the particular case of Python, it does not have a character data type, this means that a single character is considered as a string with length 1.
But why are strings important? Every time you ask the user to introduce information so the program can do it’s job Python will receive that information as a string. As we have seen before we can change the property of these strings but they will always be necessary for the program to run properly.
