6. Strings - Part A
Python allows manipulation of various data types, particularly focusing on strings, which are sequences of characters denoted by quotes. It's essential to understand that in Python, variable names do not have fixed types and are assigned values dynamically. The chapter elaborates on string creation, character indexing, and the concept of concatenation using the plus operator, highlighting Python's flexibility and ease in text processing.

What we have learnt
- Python uses names to remember values, and types are dynamic.
- Strings in Python are sequences of characters with no distinct character type.
- Python allows the inclusion of different types of quotes and backslashes for string handling.
Key Concepts
- -- String
- A sequence of characters in Python, represented within single, double, or triple quotes.
- -- Dynamic Typing
- The ability of Python to assign types to variables dynamically based on the value assigned, rather than static typing.
- -- Concatenation
- The operation of joining two strings together using the plus (+) operator.
- -- Indexing
- Accessing individual characters in a string using their position, starting from 0 for the first character.
