Well, I guess you're gonna hear somewhat of the same answer, but let me go a little further.
The four strings everyone has mentioned are E, A, D, and G. That much we all agree on. A 5-string violin also has the next fifth down, so the lowest string would be a C. There are electric violins that actually have 6 strings. The lowest string on these would be an F. And (are you ready for this) Mark Wood, of Wood Violins, has invented a 7-string violin which he calls the Viper. B-Flat for the low string on this baby!
Check out the sound of these instruments at http://woodviolins.com/html/viper.html
And when it comes to tuning, don't forget that alternative tunings are also possible. Just like with a guitar, many folk fiddlers use non-traditional tunings. And you'll often find fiddlers who have two instruments on stage with them during performances because they are tuned to different notes.
Hope that helps.

There are 4 strings on the violin
the lowest is - G
next is -D
next is A- 440-
highest is E
If you want to compare other string instruments:
The viola has 4 also;
Also, cat gut connects the tailpiece to the end button. That is definitely not a string that you play.
The bow that you use does not have strings , it is hair, either of horsetail or synthetic.
It's lowest isC
next is--------G same as violin's lowest string
next is--------D same as violin
next is -------A same as
cello- has same strings as viola- but lower.
Double Bass has same strings as violin, but backwards and much lower. ist lowest is E , then A, then D, then G
Violin , viola, and cello are tuned by perfect fifths.
The Double Bass is tuned by fourths.

Four but I have seen some that have five. I guess it is like putting five strings on an electric bass.
