Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's C# journey — lesson 7 of 69.

The string type is a special type that consists of multiple chars.

To initialize a string value in a variable, enclose it within double quotation marks:

string s1 = "This is a string";

In the above example, a string variable named s1 is initialized.
