 Strings are different to other collections, namely how indexing into a ``String`` is complicated by the differences between how people and computers interpret ``String`` data
 
 ## What is a String?
+There is only one string type in the core language which is the string slice ``str`` this is usually in the borrowed form ``&str``. 
+
+This is special when not referenced because it is a constant written into the binary. 
+This is only the case for string literals
+
+The String type is provided by Rust's standard library rather than coded into the core language is growable, mutable, owned and UTF-8 encoded string type.
+
+When a string is referred to in rust they refer either to the ``&str`` (string slice) or the ``String`` that is included in the std library
+
+string slices are also UTF-9 encoded
+
+## Creating a New String
+Many of the same operations available with [``Vec<T>``](Vector.md) are available with ``String`` as well because it is implemented as a wrapper around a vector of bytes with some guarantees, restrictions and capabilities.
+
+To create one it works the same as a ``Vec<T>`` 
+```rust
+let mut s = String::new();
+```
+
+This creates a new empty string, which can then load data
+
+Often times we have some initial data for that we can use the ``to_string`` method which is available on any type that implements the ``Display`` trait, as string literals do
+
+```rust
+let data = "initial contents";
+
+let s = data.to_string();
+
+// the same as the two lines above
+let s = "inital contents".to_string();
+```
+
+These both create a string containing ``intial contents``
+
+You can also use the ``String::from`` to create a string form a string literal
+
+```rust
+let s = String::form("initial contents");
+```
+
+Because strings are used for so many things we can use many different generic APIs for strings, providing us with a lot of options.
+
+Whilst some can seem redundant but they all have their place.
+
+for ``String::from`` and ``to_string`` whilst they do the same thing which one you choose is a matter of style and readability
+
+UTF-8 Strings, because it has this property it can do any language where all of them are valid
+```rust
+    let hello = String::from("السلام عليكم");
+    let hello = String::from("Dobrý den");
+    let hello = String::from("Hello");
+    let hello = String::from("שלום");
+    let hello = String::from("नमस्ते");
+    let hello = String::from("こんにちは");
+    let hello = String::from("안녕하세요");
+    let hello = String::from("你好");
+    let hello = String::from("Olá");
+    let hello = String::from("Здравствуйте");
+    let hello = String::from("Hola");
+```
+
+## Updating a String
+
+A ``String`` can grow in size and its contents can change, just like the contents of a ``Vec<T>`` if you push more data into it.
+
+In addition you can use the ``+`` operator or the ``format!`` macro to concatenate ``String`` values.
+
+### Appending to a String with push_str and push
+
+Strings can be grown by using the ``push_str`` method to append to a string slice
+
+```rust
+let mut s = String::from("foo");
+s.push_str("bar");
+```
+
+after the two lines the string will contain ``foobar`` 
+
+The ``push_str`` takes a string slice because it doesn't necessarily want to take ownership of the parameter, therefore we are able to use a part we borrowed for appending
+
+The ``push`` method takes a single character as a parameter and adds it to the ``String``
+
+```rust
+let mut s = String::from("lo");
+s.push('l');
+```
+
+### Concatenation with the ``+`` Operator or the ``format!`` Macro
