In computer programming, a string is traditionally a sequence of characters, either as a literal constant or as some kind of variable. The latter may allow its elements to be mutated and the length changed, or it may be fixed. A string is often implemented as an array data structure of bytes that stores a sequence of elements, typically characters, using some character encoding. More general, string may also denote a sequence of data other than just characters.
