In computing and more specifically in various programming languages, strings are a variable type that can hold text[1], as opposed to integer variables (so called int variables) that can only hold integers (e.g. a number, such as 5) or a "float" variable, which can hold floating point numbers (e.g. numbers with decimal places - 5.5, 6.3, etc.)
