We already learnt about strings in C++ Data-types, Operators and Strings, but in this tutorial we are going to learn a little more about C++ strings and also see some helpful functions C++ provides for strings.
String literals
String literals are enclosed in either double quotes.
For example, "Hello World" is a string.
