Are all string stored as array of characters?

In many programming languages, strings are indeed stored as arrays of characters. Each character in the string is stored at a specific index in the array, allowing for easy access and manipulation of the string’s individual characters. This array-based representation makes it possible to perform various string operations, such as concatenation, substring extraction, and modification.

Programming Languages in which strings are not stored as array of characters

Yes, there are exceptions. Some programming languages, such as Python, have a dedicated string type that is not implemented as an array of characters. In Python, strings are represented as a sequence of Unicode code points, and they are not directly manipulated as arrays of characters. However, in many other languages like C, C++, Java, and JavaScript, strings are indeed stored as arrays of characters.

List of programming languages in which strings are not stored as array of characters

Sure! Some programming languages that have dedicated string types and do not necessarily store strings as arrays of characters include:

• Python
• Ruby
• Go
• Rust
• Swift

These languages have their own string representations that are not purely based on arrays of characters.
