String
The String type deserves a entire subchapter because it is a bit more than a type. Indeed, it is an object (in the sense of object-oriented programming).
Objects come with special properties and functions. Properties and functions are available natively because String is now a part of the Arduino core and can be seen as a pre-existing entity even if your IDE contains no line.
Again, the framework takes care of things for you, providing you a type/object with powerful and already coded functions that are directly usable.

String definition is a construction
We talked about definition for variables, but objects have a similar concept called construction.
For String objects, I'm talking about construction instead of definition here but you can consider both terms equal. Declaring a String type in Arduino core involves an object constructor, which is an object-oriented programming concept; we don't have to handle...
