Anyone want to tackle - string (small version of rope), string (general chain of various things), string (music), etc. - not just the computer version.
Also, string theory of cosmology/physics.
The first paragraph seems too "busy" to me. What about replacing it with something like this?
- A string (or string of characters) is a data type used in most programming languages to represent text, and is the focus of this article.
- The computing term string is also used in a broader sense to group a sequence of entities; for example, tokens in a language grammar, or a sequence of states in automata. See the theory of computation.
