Strings are defined using the built-in string type as follows:
let a: string = "Hello Captain Rogers"
Concatenating Strings
Strings can be concatenated using the ^ operator.
let name: string = “Captain Rogers”
let greeting: string = “Hello”
let full_greeting: string = greeting ^ ” ” ^ name
Slicing Strings
Strings can be sliced using a built-in function String.sub which takes three parameters: – an offset describing the index of first character that will be copied – the length describing the number of characters that will be copied (starting from the given offset) – the string being sliced
The function String.sub can be used as follows:
let name: string = "Captain Rogers"let slice: string = String.sub 0n 1n name
⚠️ Notice that the offset and length of the sub function are natural numbers.
Length of Strings
The length of a string can be found using a built-in function String.length as follows:
let name: string = "Captain Rogers"let length: nat = String.length name // length = 14
