All language subtitles for 1. Strings - General

What is going on, guys, in this section, we are going to talk about an important topic called String's.

Now, these drinks are not cotton things or something like that, OK?

What we are talking about is drinks in programming.

And I want you to think of the following situation.

Has it ever happened to you that you had to feel a forum like that where you have to fill in the name

and the password while logging into somewhere?

Perhaps, or maybe you have this kind of forum where you have to fill in the first name, the last name,

the password, the email and so on.

And all of these fields are basically just text.

Right.

And what we want to do is to store or to hold these text from the form into our program, possibly in

some sort of a variable, that there will be some variable that stores these information and also assigned

to this string store pig that we are about to learn in this section.

It is a very good practice to see why you learn this topic before you actually practice it in your programming

language and you would be able to create different forums in the future.

Right.

When you know how to use strings, you will be able to create different forms and different projects

that you may have during your life and read the right data to the form and from the forum and so on.

So basically you will be able to you will have the ability and the skills to work with forums in the

most proper way.

And although if you want to create some visualized forums, that's some something more advanced.

These topics are some more advanced topics and we will give them for another course.

It's just important that you will know that there is also a lot for us to cover in the future until

we become the master, the great programmers that we want to be.

So now let's take a look at another example and see this text.

If we take these text right here, these hello world message, can we create some variable to store

it?

Maybe we should store that text.

There's an integer or maybe a floating point.

Probably not.

That simply won't work, right?

You cannot take these string this text and store it inside one variable of an integer or a floating

point type.

So how can we store text?

Basically is the name of the section suggests one way to do so would be by using strings.

So we can say that strings are basically used to hold text, to hold words, sentences and basically

a bunch of characters.

And that's something new that we are introducing right now, because in the previous videos, we didn't

see any variables that are able to store just text.

Right.

We could simply store one variable with an integer type or a floating point type or one character.

And then we also talked about the arrays, but we didn't specify how to store a bunch of text, how

to work with sentences, how to work with words and so on.

And basically, we didn't even speak.

What is the difference between arrays of characters versus strings?

And we didn't specify this much.

So with that being said, I think it will be much easier and much more understandable for you guys if

we take a look at the basics of strings in our programming language.

So I'll see you right away.
