📚 In Part 9 of the Mastering Programming Using C & C++ series, we explore strings—how to store, manipulate, and work with textual data in both C and C++. Strings are a crucial part of most applications, and understanding them unlocks a whole new level of programming power.

✅ What you’ll learn in this video:
✔️ How strings work in C (character arrays)
✔️ Using standard string functions: strlen, strcpy, strcat, strcmp, etc.
✔️ Introduction to string class in C++
✔️ Common string operations: input, output, concatenation, comparison
✔️ Differences between C-style strings and C++ strings
✔️ Best practices for handling user input with strings

💡 Why This Matters:
🔹 Strings are essential for user interaction, file handling, and more
🔹 Builds your understanding of arrays and memory
🔹 Prepares you for text-based algorithms and data parsing
🔹 Important for real-world applications like login systems, text editors, and search engines
