为什么字符串被称为“字符串”？

The History Behind the Definition of a 'String'
About the only thing every programming language I've seen is able to agree upon is that a variable that refers to a block of text is called a "string." Why? Where does the name come from, and how did it become idiomatic across programming in general?

非常有趣，
字符串的定义（至少根据普林斯顿）是：
符号的线性序列
因此，由于字符串数据类型是字符/符号的序列，因此它更符合定义。
Very interesting,
The very definition of a string (according to Princeton at least) is:
a linear sequence of symbols
So, since the String datatype is a sequence of characters/symbols, it rather fits the definition.
