String in Python (Simple Words)

In Python, a string means a sequence of characters (letters, numbers, symbols) written
inside quotes.

👉 Simple meaning:
A string is text or words stored in a variable.

Example

name = "Sarika"
city = 'Delhi'
Python Run

Here:
"Sarika" is a string
'Delhi' is also a string

Both are text values.
