TRAVERSING A STRING
Traversing means visiting each element and processing it as required by the program. We can
access the characters of a string one at a time using indexing.
There are two ways of indexing:
Positive Indexing: Index from left starts with 0.
Negative Indexing: Index from right starts with -1.
The syntax for traversing a string is as follows:
<name of the string> [index]
