## Strings

Strings represent textual values, as a sequence of characters. String values are always written between double quotes. An example is `"hello world"`. The default value of strings (`string` type) is the empty string `""`.

Strings can be composed using the `+` operator. The expression `"hello" + " " + "world"` evaluates to `"hello world"`. For advanced text formatting, see the later lesson on text formatting.
