👉 String math is a branch of mathematics that deals with the properties and operations of strings, which are sequences of characters. It extends traditional arithmetic and algebra to handle strings as mathematical objects, enabling the application of algebraic structures like groups, rings, and fields to string manipulation. Key concepts include string concatenation, substring extraction, pattern matching (using regular expressions), and transformations such as reversing or splitting strings. Operations like addition and multiplication are defined for concatenated or combined strings, while functions like length, indexing, and character counting are fundamental. String math also underpins algorithms in computer science, such as text processing, bioinformatics (for DNA sequences), and natural language processing, making it essential for tasks involving data stored or transmitted as text.
