Python Strings

In python, anything that you enclose between single or double quotation marks is considered a string. A string is essentially a sequence of characters where each character is known as element.

Strings are used when working with Unicode characters. 

Example:

str1="dipanshu" # set of characters
print(str1)
print(type(str1))
print(len(str1))   # no of characters in a string 
dipanshu
<class 'str'>
