string and char

Question

What is the difference in using string and char data type

Answer 1

Char:
1. A char holds a single character.
2. Char is a primitive type.
3. Elements in character array are stored contiguously in increasing in memory location.

Example: char[ ] a = {'a', 'p', 'p', 'l', 'e'};

String:
1. String holds lots of characters.
2. String is a reference type.
3. Strings can be stored in any manner in the memory.

Example: string a = "apple";

Hope it helps 😊

And yeah sorry for grammatical mistake.

Answer 2

I think this is explained in the course :)
have you done it?

Answer 3

in short: string is any combination of chars, but it is a string, which means it is treated as such.
1 + 1 #output 2
but
“1 + 1” #output 1 + 1

chars are always single characters and never a combination
