STRING

A string is very similar to an array of characters, except that its size is not fixed as it is for an array of characters. This makes a string very convenient to use.

 local string name
 name = "John"
 name = "John Smith"
 name = ""

EASI automatically allocates and manages the memory storage for a string so that there is enough space to hold the value assigned. Individual characters within the string may still be accessed using array style indexing as with arrays of characters to return a string value consisting of only one character:

 name = "abcdefg"
 print name[3]
