Working with Strings in Python 3

Introduction
A string is a sequence of one or more characters (letters, numbers, symbols) that can be either a constant or a variable. Made up of Unicode, strings are immutable sequences, meaning they are unchanging.
Because text is such a common form of data that we use in everyday life, the string data type is a very important building block of programming.
This tutorial series will go over several of the major ways to work with and manipulate strings in Python 3.
