substrings
Parts within strings
Substrings are sequences of characters contained within a larger string.
In programming and text processing, a substring is any continuous portion extracted from a string: The substring "cat" appears in "concatenate".
Searching for substrings is fundamental to text manipulation, pattern matching, and data parsing.
