Strings are used for storing text.

A string variable contains a collection of characters surrounded by double


quotes.

Example:

string greeting = "Nice to meet you!";


String Length
A string in C# is actually an object, which contain properties and methods
that can perform certain operations on strings. For example, the length of
a string can be found with the Length property:
Example:
string txt = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";

Console.WriteLine("The length of the txt string is: " + txt.Length);


● There are many string methods available, for example
ToUpper() and ToLower(), which returns a copy of the string
converted to uppercase or lowercase.
● string txt = "Hello World";
● Console.WriteLine(txt.ToUpper()); //HELLO WORLD
● Console.WriteLine(txt); //Hello World
● Console.WriteLine(txt.ToLower()); //hello world
String Concatenation
The + operator can be used between strings to combine them. This is
called concatenation:
string firstName = "Will ";
string lastName = "Brown";
string name = firstName + lastName;

Console.WriteLine(name); //Will Brown


You can also use the string.Concat() method to concatenate two strings:
string firstName = "Will ";
string lastName = "Brown";
string name = string.Concat(firstName, lastName);

Console.WriteLine(name);
C# String Interpolation
Another option of string concatenation, is string interpolation, which
substitutes values of variables into placeholders in a string.
string firstName = "John";
string lastName = "Doe";

Console.WriteLine($"My full name is: {firstName} {lastName}");


C# Access Strings
Access the characters in a string by referring to its index number
inside square brackets [].
This example prints the first character in myString:
string myString = "Hello";

Console.WriteLine(myString[2]);
Another useful method is Substring(), which extracts the characters from a
string, starting from the specified character position/index, and returns a new
string.
This method is often used together with IndexOf() to get the specific character
position.
string name = "John Doe";
int charPos = name.IndexOf("D");//5
int substring_length=2;
string lastName = name.Substring(charPos,substring_length); //Do

Console.WriteLine(lastName); //Do
Strings - Special Characters
string txt = "We are \"Batch 60B\" of UU.";

The solution to avoid this problem, is to use the backslash escape character.

The backslash (\) escape character turns special characters into string characters
