string
<programming> A sequence of data values, usually bytes, which usually stand for characters (a "character string"). The mapping between values and characters is determined by the character set which is itself specified implcitly or explicitly by the environment in which the string is being interpreted.
The most common character set is ASCII but, since the late 1990s, there has been increased interest in larger character sets such as Unicode where each character is represented by more than eight bits.
Most programming languages consider strings (e.g. "124:shabooya:\n", "hello world") basically distinct from numbers which are typically stored in fixed-length binary or floating-point representation.
A bit string is a sequence of bits.

string
A data type consisting of a sequence of contiguous characters that represent the characters themselves rather than their numeric values. A String can include letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation. The String data type can store fixed-length strings ranging in length from 0 to approximately 63K characters and dynamic strings ranging in length from 0 to approximately 2 billion characters. The dollar sign ($) type-declaration character represents a String in Visual Basic.

The String class represents character strings. All string literals in Java programs, such as "abc", are implemented as instances of this class.
String()
- Constructor for class java.lang.String
public String ()
Initializes a newly created String object so that it represents an empty character sequence.
String(String)
- Constructor for class java.lang.String
public String (String value)
Initializes a newly created String object so that it represents the same sequence of characters as the argument; in other words, the newly created string is a copy of the argument string.Parameters: value - a String.
String(StringBuffer)
- Constructor for class java.lang.String
public String (StringBuffer buffer)
Allocates a new string that contains the sequence of characters currently contained in the string buffer argument. The contents of the string buffer are copied; subsequent modification of the string buffer does not affect the newly created string.Parameters: buffer - a StringBuffer.Throws: NullPointerException - If buffer is null.
String(byte[])
- Constructor for class java.lang.String
public String (byte[] bytes)
Construct a new String by converting the specified array of bytes using the platform's default character encoding. The length of the new String is a function of the encoding, and hence may not be equal to the length of the byte array.Parameters: bytes - The bytes to be converted into charactersSince: JDK1.1

string
A set of contiguous bytes that contain a single character-based or binary data value. In character strings, each byte, or pair of bytes, represents a single alphabetic letter, special character, or number. In binary strings, the entire value is considered to be a single stream of bits that do not have any inherent pattern. For example, the constant 'I am 32.' is an 8 byte character string, while the constant 0x0205efa3 is a 4 byte binary string.
