Answer 2

A string is a series of bytes in a row where each bytes represents some information. In most languages strings are used to store non-number data, like text. An example of a string is "this is text". If you're wondering what the purpose of a string is, it is commonly used to store user input.

example program display below

Enter your name below.
bob -->this would be the user input which you would probably put in some string variable to save it for later so you don't need to ask the user its name everytime you want to display it. Instead you would just use the string information to put it on the screen.

'later on in the program..
