In computing, a group of characters manipulated as a single object by the computer. In its simplest form a string may consist of a single letter or word—for example, the single word smith might be established as a string for processing by a computer. A string can also consist of a combination of words, spaces, and numbers—for example, 33 high street anytown allshire could be established as a single string.
Most high-level languages have a variety of string-handling functions. For example, functions may be provided to read a character from any given position in a string or to count automatically the number of characters in a string.
