# String A **String** is a **Data Type** that represents a sequence of alphanumerical characters. They are most commonly used to hold words and text. Numbers can also be represented as **Strings**, but they are still text, not numbers; for instance, $$1 + 1 = 2$$ in *numerical* terms, but $$"1" + "1" = "11"$$ in *string* terms, because it is text added together, not actual values. In **Incari**, there is a special category of **Nodes** ([**String**](/incari-studio/2021.2/toolbox/string.md)) for creating and handling **Strings**. ## External Links * [*String (computer science)*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_%28computer_science%29) on Wikipedia. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
