Definitions

1. A data type representing an ordered sequence of characters, used to store and manipulate text, with encoding details (UTF-8, UTF-16) varying by language and platform.

   In plain English: Text in a program — a word, a sentence, a whole paragraph — stored as a sequence of characters.

   Example: "Never build SQL queries by concatenating strings — use parameterized queries or you will get SQL injection."
