Here is an answer to explain the immutability of Strings in Python. It means that you can't modify the string. Due to this, you can use strings securely in many places of your project.
How to check string immutability
Here is an example. In the python shell, assign a value of your choice to a string. Here my choice is ABCD, and I have assigned it to myString. I have tried to replace A with Z. But, it gave an error due to the immutability of strings.>>> myString = 'ABCD'
>>>myString [0] = 'Z'
What is learning here
The strings immutability is an interview question. In interviews, you can say that strings are immutable, and you can't replace its data.Benefits of strings immutability
- It saves a lot of time since the data in strings are immutable. It results in high performance.
- String objects you can reuse as no one can modify its value.
- Strings are elemental. So no activity can change its value ( these are more like numbers).
