'''  Purpose: demonstrate string operators

# STRINGS CAN USE + and * but not for math!

# name some values
n = 5

s = 'strengths'
t = 'crwth'
u = 'unnoticeably'
s_and_t_concatenated = s + t
u_scaled_n_times = n * u

print( s_and_t_concatenated ) # String concatenation (gluing strings together)
# 'hi' + 'hello' = 'hihello'
print( u_scaled_n_times )  # Copies of strings concatenated (glued together)
# 'hi'*5 = 'hihihihihi'

# Strings using + and *
# '3'+'5' = '35' GLUES STRINGS TOGETHER NOT ADDS NUMBERS
# '3' * 5 = '33333'

# Numbers using + and *
# 3 + 5 = 8
# 3 * 5 = 15

# str( x ) function
    # str( x ) function converts x to a string!
    # str( 3 ) -> '3'
