What is String in Python?

Strings are contiguous series of characters enclosed in single or double quotes. Python doesn't have
any separate data type for characters so they are represented as a single character string.

For eg.

>>> s_name = "Amit" # s_name is a variable storing a string.

>>>s = 'a' #String can also be enclosed in single quotes

Creating strings: To create string enclose the character or sequence of character in Single or Double

Quotes like shown below

>>> s_name = "Amit" #String enclosed in double quotes

We can also use str() function to create string:

N = str () # This function will create an empty string
