3.6. Strings

It is nearly impossible to write a C# program without creating strings . A string object holds a series of characters .

You declare a string variable using the string keyword much as you would create an instance of any type:

 string myString; 

You specify a string literal by enclosing it in double quotes:

 "Hello World" 

It is common to initialize a string variable that contains a string literal:

 string myString = "Hello World"; 

Strings will be covered in much greater detail in Chapter 15.
