Create a String

Strings can simply be defined by use of single ( ‘ ), double ( ” ) or triple ( ”’ ) inverted commas. Strings enclosed in triple quotes ( ”’ ) can span over multiple lines. A few things to keep in mind about strings:

Strings are immutable in Python, so you can not change the content of a string.
Function len() can be used to get length of a string
You can access the elements using indexes as you do for lists

String ="String elements can also be accessed using index numbers, just like lists"

print (String[0:7])

#Above print command displays "String " on screen.

You can use '+' operator to concatenate two strings

Use the len() function to store the length of string
Use start and end index to access the required characters, e.g. str[0:3] to return first three characters of string str
'+' operator is used to concatenate (combine) two strings
