Text Variables

Text Variables

String variables are an entirely different form of variables. As you may have noticed, all the other variables that were mentioned in the previous chapter have something to do with numbers. String variables deal with text. When you deal with text variables, the commands and the methods associated with them are entirely different. For example, when was the last time that you have heard someone multiply letters? What is the result when you multiply the letter "k" with the letter "n" ? When you work with text variables or string variables, make sure that you do not confuse the numerical manipulation commands with the string or textual manipulation commands.
