String traversals refer to the process of accessing and examining each character in a string. It involves iterating through the characters one by one.
Imagine you have a necklace with different colored beads. To examine each bead, you start from one end and move along the necklace, checking each bead's color as you go.
String Algorithms: These are specific procedures or techniques used to manipulate or analyze strings, such as searching for a substring or sorting characters within a string.
Nested Iterations: This term refers to using multiple loops within each other, often used in string traversals to access individual characters at different levels of nesting.
Indexing: Indexing is the process of assigning a unique number (index) to each character in a string, allowing easy access and manipulation of specific characters within the string.
