 # Strings
 
-Strings are sequences of characters. In Java, a `String` is an `Object`. Strings should not be confused with `char` as characters are literally a single value rather than a sequence of characters. You can still use a single value within a String; however, it is preferred to use `char` when you are checking for a single character.
