In Python, a string (of type str) is a sequence of Unicode characters, allowing for a wide range of symbols and languages. Strings are human-readable and can be directly used for text processing:
A byte string (of type bytes) is a sequence of raw byte data, representing data in a specific encoding (like UTF-8). Each byte is an integer between 0 and 255. Byte strings are useful for binary data, file I/O, or network communication:
In summary, strings deal with characters, while byte strings handle raw bytes.
