# 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**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2022.2/toolbox/string)) for creating and handling **Strings**.
