Understanding Strings and Their Representation

A string is a collection of characters, which can include alphabets, numbers, symbols, and white spaces. Characters can also include escape sequences like ' ' for a new line and ' ' for a tab space. Strings can be represented using single quotes, double quotes, triple quotes, or triple double quotes, with the rule that single quotes cannot be used inside single quotes.
