Strings

I’ll be honest, C is slightly awkward for dealing with character strings, especially compared to languages like Python.

String is one of the most popular data types in programming.

A collection of characters grouped together forms a string.

Constant character strings are written inside double-quotation marks (line 5 below).

Strings are actually, under the hood, arrays of characters. Single character variables are declared using single-quotation marks (line 7 below).

String variables can be declared as indicated on line 8 below. The double square brackets signify an array. Just like arrays, we can access string elements through indexing.
