  G-string - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its earliest form was a strip of cloth between the legs secured by a string around the waist and called a "G-string," a name that was in use at least as far back as the late 1800s.
Some speculate that it may have been an analogy to the thickest string on a violin or a euphemistic abbreviation of girdle string or groin string.
A style that has a narrow band of fabric in the rear that just covers the cleft in the buttocks is often called a "Brazilian" rear, because it is often seen at Brazilian Samba carnivals.

 : Class String
Strings are constant; their values cannot be changed after they are created.
If two strings are different, then either they have different characters at some index that is a valid index for both strings, or their lengths are different, or both.
Two strings are considered equal ignoring case if they are of the same length, and corresponding characters in the two strings are equal ignoring case.

 NOVA | Elegant Universe | Resonance in Strings | PBS
With the strings in string theory, however, the vibrational pattern determines what kind of particle the string is. One resonant pattern makes it a photon, for example, while another makes it a heavy particle found within the nucleus of an atom.
In string theory, this equivalence accounts for the different masses of different particles: a lower-energy string is lighter (less massive) than a higher-energy string.
Although the fundamental string shown above is depicted as a two-dimensional object, the strings in string theory are one-dimensional.

 2.4.1 String literals
In triple-quoted strings, unescaped newlines and quotes are allowed (and are retained), except that three unescaped quotes in a row terminate the string.
In a string literal, hexadecimal and octal escapes denote the byte with the given value; it is not necessary that the byte encodes a character in the source character set.
Unlike Standard C, all unrecognized escape sequences are left in the string unchanged, i.e., the backslash is left in the string.

 String (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)
The contents of the string buffer are copied; subsequent modification of the string buffer does not affect the newly created string.
If it is greater than or equal to the length of this string, it has the same effect as if it were equal to one less than the length of this string: this entire string may be searched.
a newly allocated character array whose length is the length of this string and whose contents are initialized to contain the character sequence represented by this string.

To the Navajo, the making of string figures was a gift from Grandmother Spider, and to honor this, their custom was to engage in string-figure making only during the winter when the true string weavers were dormant.
A section of string passing on the palm side of the hand from one finger to another on the same hand is referred to as a palmar string.
As you raise the index fingers, hold this string tightly in the crook between the thumbs and index fingers and rotate the hands so that the palms are facing away from you.

 NOVA | The Elegant Universe | A Theory of Everything? | PBS
String theory adds the new microscopic layer of a vibrating loop to the previously known progression from atoms through protons, neutrons, electrons, and quarks.
String theory proclaims, for instance, that the observed particle properties—that is, the different masses and other properties of both the fundamental particles and the force particles associated with the four forces of nature (the strong and weak nuclear forces, electromagnetism, and gravity)—are a reflection of the various ways in which a string can vibrate.
Just as the strings on a violin or on a piano have resonant frequencies at which they prefer to vibrate—patterns that our ears sense as various musical notes and their higher harmonics—the same holds true for the loops of string theory.

 What is character string? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
A character string is often specified by enclosing the characters in single or double quotes.
The length of a character string is usually the number of characters in it.
Some programs, however, mark the beginning or end of a character string with an invisible character, so the length might actually be one greater than the number of characters.

 XML Path Language (XPath)
If one object to be compared is a node-set and the other is a string, then the comparison will be true if and only if there is a node in the node-set such that the result of performing the comparison on the string-value of the node and the other string is true.
Strings consist of a sequence of zero or more characters, where a character is defined as in the XML Recommendation [XML].
An attribute whose normalized value is a zero-length string is not treated specially: it results in an attribute node whose string-value is a zero-length string.

 The String Coffee Table
Of course, when the string is quantized in the usual way, there is a natural and obvious choice of “center of mass mode” which does play the role that one would expect naively.
In any case, even if we agree that two free string fields commute precisely when their respective “centers-of-mass” are spacelike seperated, I don’t quite see why this is supposed to be problematic.
In the case of the string Lie 2-algebra of Baez and Crans, this recovers the model of the string group introduced in math.QA/0504123.

This calculator tries to calculate the correct dimensions for a complete set of lute strings, gradually increasing the tension in the upper strings, to give a good "feel." Note that only the lowest strings will have the tension that you input.
Recommended starting point is a tension per meter of 4.42 for regular strings and 4.32 for octave strings, but you may prefer something lighter or heavier.
The lower strings will be at this tension, and the higher strings will use a higher tension.

 3. An Informal Introduction to Python
The interpreter prints the result of string operations in the same way as they are typed for input: inside quotes, and with quotes and other funny characters escaped by backslashes, to show the precise value.
Strings can be subscripted (indexed); like in C, the first character of a string has subscript (index) 0.
Strings, and the Unicode strings described in the next section, are examples of sequence types, and support the common operations supported by such types.

 K. Scott Allen : String Basics Part I
You’ll hear people saying strings “act like value types”, but this doesn’t mean the runtime makes a copy of the string during assignment operations, and it doesn’t make a copy of a string when passing the string as a parameter.
Because of these two behaviors we sometimes say strings have value type semantics (they feel like value types), but strings are reference types in the runtime.
The value given to a string parameter in a method call is the reference, not a copy of the string’s value.
