What is a string in programming?

Answer 1

A string is a process within a computer program. However, the word "process" is normally used for the main program, so you might think of it as a sub-process. In any case, the idea is that with threads, you can split up your code to run different processes simultaneously. If the computer has several available processors, the strings may really be running simultaneously; if there are more strings than processors, the operating system (or perhaps in some cases the runtime environment?) will simulate this, by alternating the available processors among the strings, so that each one runs for a short time, say, a few milliseconds.

Answer 2

It is basically text. For example:

string "This is a string";

string "All it is is text";

(C++)
