Strings – concatenation, methods, and input()

So far, you have learned how to express numbers, operations, and variables. But what about words? In Python, anything that goes between single (') or double (") quotes is considered a string. Strings are commonly used to express words, but they have many other uses, including displaying information to the user and retrieving information from a user.
