String group

Okay kiddo, let’s talk about strings and string groups.

Imagine you have a bunch of different pieces of string, like the kind you use to tie your shoes or make a bracelet. Each of these strings is called an individual string, just like every toy car is a single car.

But what if we wanted to work with these strings in a group, like putting them all together to make a pretty necklace? Now we need to talk about string groups.

A string group is a collection of different strings that you put together in one place, like when you tie them all together to make a necklace or a friendship bracelet. When all these strings are together, you can treat them as one big thing instead of lots of little individual things.

This is really helpful when you want to do something like make a pattern with different colors of string or braid them together for a stronger cord.

So if you hear the words "string group," just think about a bunch of individual strings that have come together to make something new and useful!
