For Loops, Strings, and Arrays: Word Jumble

For Loops, Strings, and Arrays: Word Jumble ‌

You’ve seen how to work with single values, but in this chapter you’ll learn how to work with sequences of data. You’ll learn more about strings—objects for sequences of characters. You’ll also see how to work with sequences of any type. And you’ll discover a new type of loop that’s perfect for use with these sequences. Specifically, you’ll learn to:

n Use for loops to iterate over sequences

n Use objects, which combine data and functions

n Use string objects and their member functions to work with sequences of characters

n Use arrays to store, access, and manipulate sequences of any type

n Use multidimensional arrays to better represent certain collections of data
