This document discusses strings in C++. It defines a string as a sequence of characters and provides examples of single character constants like 'h' and string constants like "hello". It describes two ways to declare strings in C++ - using a C-style character array or the standard string class. It also demonstrates different ways to initialize and copy strings, including using string constants, character constants, the length operator, and user input. Finally, it lists some common string functions like strcpy(), strcat(), strlen(), and strcmp().
