Strings & string manipulation1 / 9
Strings are sequences of characters
A string is text — any sequence of characters in single or double quotes:
```python
name = "Alex"
message = 'hello world'
multi = """This
can span
multiple lines"""
```
Strings behave like lists of characters. You can access individual characters by index:
```python
text = "Python"
print(text[0]) # P
print(text[5]) # n
print(text[-1]) # n (last char)
```
