String

Lesson 1 of 14 in Coddy's Strings and Arrays in C# course.

Strings are used for storing text.

A string variable contains a collection of characters surrounded by double quotes:

string name = "Bob";

A string is a special type, it has its own methods (functions) and properties!

The first we will meet is Length, which stores the length of the string,

string name = "Bob";
Console.WriteLine(name.Length);  // Outputs: 3
