In this video, I talk about the various ways of how we can model textual data as string objects (i.e., str's). Also, we see how we obtain string objects with the built-in input() and open() functions. An important observation is that we have to distinguish between the literal syntax to create string objects and a string's semantic value. Often, they look almost the same (e.g., when there are no escape sequences in the string object's value).
