Tell me a language where a string isnt an ordered sequence of elements of some atomic text-like data type. Those may have different types - like utf8 bytes, bytes, unicode code points, grapheme clusters etc. But these are all some sort of representation of text at some level. Which one a programming language uses depends on the language, and should be checked in the documentation. Its not like some obscure “check page 2000” of the doc type small print, implying that you need to read 18 tomes of language doc before u can work with the language —- no, but if u want to work with strings in any programming language, u should know what type the elements consist of.

Btw, python my try to overload the meaning of the words array and list, but the word “array” has a generic meaning in this branch of math called computer science (an ordered sequence of elements indexible in O(1)), which is how I used it here.
