Why are strings so important?

Great question! Strings are used everywhere in programming because they help us work with text.

For example, your name, "Ghulam," or a message like "Hello, World!" are both strings.

You'd use strings when you need to:

  • Show text to the user, like showing their name or a greeting.

  • Store data that consists of words, like an address or a book title.

  • Manipulate text, such as searching for certain words in a sentence or combining strings together to form new sentences.

Basically, anytime you’re dealing with text-based information, strings come in handy. They're a crucial part of most programming tasks!

Let me know if that clears things up, or if you have more questions!
