Strings are much more robust than they appear to be. They have several properties and capabilities that you can use methods to unlock to manipulate and manage contents of strings. These include finding the length of the string, extracting a specific character from a string, comparing strings, and pulling out a substring out of a larger string.

a string requires using the String class. Because we are using a class vs. a primitive as the type, we need to use the new keyword for the string:
String s = new String();
s = "Doug";
