Strings
Anything that is surrounded by quotation marks is called a string
. This is how a computer represents words or sentences. For example, “a”, “2”, “banana!”, and “Hello World” are strings, but 2 and Hello World are not strings, because the quotation marks are missing. You can combine many strings together using the +
sign!
The strings that you combine do not have to be real words! For example, "Ap" + "ple"
will produce the string "Apple"
.
Ask for help if you are confused!
For example,
"Apple" + "Pineapple"
produces the string"ApplePineapple"
"Nuevo" + " " + "Foundation"
produces"Nuevo Foundation"
Challenge 1
What if you combine your first and last name? How would you do that?
Challenge 2
Delete all the print
statements in your code. Start your code with the line print("Nuevo" + " " + "Foundation")
If you run it, you should get the following output:
Nuevo Foundation
Let’s try and find two more ways to print the string "Nuevo Foundation"
using two plus (+
) symbols in each print
statement. Once you make this work, you should have “Nuevo Foundation” printed out 3 times. In other words, your console should look like this after you press run:
Nuevo Foundation
Nuevo Foundation
Nuevo Foundation
