The classical string instruments: violin, viola, cello and bass normally have 4 strings. Violin: E(highest), A, D, G(lowest); Viola: A(highest), D, G, C(lowest); Cello: A(highest), D, G, C(lowest) but all 4 are an octave below the viola. Bass: G(highest), D, A, E. The high G string on the bass is the same note as the G string (2nd to lowest string) on the cello. Some double basses are configured with 5 strings, either with a B below the low E, or a C above the high G. An electric bass (sometimes called bass guitar) has the same 4 notes as the string bass. A guitar has 6 strings and some have 12 strings (I don't remember the notes for these). I think a banjo has 5 strings.
