Programming languages.
There’s lots of programming languages in the market, everything based in scripts. For example Rhinoscript uses the VisualBasic Language, a very easy to learn programming language.
A script is a set of instructions. The computer executes the instructions, then returns data, a value — which could be a number, a string, a list, or another data type.
What is a string?
A string is a type of data: it’s zero or more characters, it’s a string of text.
What is a character?
A character could be a single letter, digit, space, punctuation, carriage return, tab, or other code. Most characters can be typed via the keyboard.
‘A’ is a character, ‘5′ is a character, ‘(’ is a character.
“A5(” is a string — it’s three characters in a row.
Characters and strings are just two of the many types of data.
