Character and String

This lesson discusses character and string type.

Character

The variable is used to store a single character value, such as a single digit or a single alphabet. The value assigned to a char variable is enclosed in a single quote('') .

Note: Unlike some other languages, a character in Rust takes up 4 bytes rather than a single byte. It does so because it can store a lot more than just an ASCII value like emojis, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese characters.
