16.1 String Concepts

16.1.1 Implications of Strings Being Arrays

Since all strings are arrays, all rules which apply generally to arrays also apply to strings. See Section 15.1 (Array Concepts).

For example, strings can have fill pointers, and strings are also subject to the rules of element type upgrading that apply to arrays.

16.1.2 Subtypes of STRING

All functions that operate on strings will operate on subtypes of string as well.

However, the consequences are undefined if a character is inserted into a string for which the element type of the string does not include that character .
