		Built-in string Variant type.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		This is the built-in string Variant type (and the one used by GDScript). Strings may contain any number of Unicode characters, and expose methods useful for manipulating and generating strings. Strings are reference-counted and use a copy-on-write approach (every modification to a string returns a new [String]), so passing them around is cheap in resources.
		Some string methods have corresponding variations. Variations suffixed with [code]n[/code] ([method countn], [method findn], [method replacen], etc.) are [b]case-insensitive[/b] (they make no distinction between uppercase and lowercase letters). Method variations prefixed with [code]r[/code] ([method rfind], [method rsplit], etc.) are reversed, and start from the end of the string, instead of the beginning.
		[b]Note:[/b] In a boolean context, a string will evaluate to [code]false[/code] if it is empty ([code]""[/code]). Otherwise, a string will always evaluate to [code]true[/code].

		<method name="findn" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" />
			<param index="0" name="what" type="String" />

			<description>
				Returns the index of the [b]first[/b] [b]case-insensitive[/b] occurrence of [param what] in this string, or [code]-1[/code] if there are none. The starting search index can be specified with [param from], continuing to the end of the string.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="format" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<param index="0" name="values" type="Variant" />
			<param index="1" name="placeholder" type="String" default="&quot;{_}&quot;" />
			<description>
				Formats the string by replacing all occurrences of [param placeholder] with the elements of [param values].
				[param values] can be a [Dictionary] or an [Array]. Any underscores in [param placeholder] will be replaced with the corresponding keys in advance. Array elements use their index as keys.
				[codeblock]
				# Prints "Waiting for Godot is a play by Samuel Beckett, and Godot Engine is named after it."
				var use_array_values = "Waiting for {0} is a play by {1}, and {0} Engine is named after it."
				print(use_array_values.format(["Godot", "Samuel Beckett"]))

				# Prints "User 42 is Godot."
				print("User {id} is {name}.".format({"id": 42, "name": "Godot"}))
				[/codeblock]
				Some additional handling is performed when [param values] is an [Array]. If [param placeholder] does not contain an underscore, the elements of the [param values] array will be used to replace one occurrence of the placeholder in order; If an element of [param values] is another 2-element array, it'll be interpreted as a key-value pair.
				[codeblock]
				# Prints "User 42 is Godot."
				print("User {} is {}.".format([42, "Godot"], "{}"))
				print("User {id} is {name}.".format([["id", 42], ["name", "Godot"]]))

				[/codeblock]
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_basename" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>

			</description>
		</method>

			<description>
				Converts the string representing a hexadecimal number into an [int]. The string may be optionally prefixed with [code]"0x"[/code], and an additional [code]-[/code] prefix for negative numbers.

				For example, the string can be indented with two tabulations using [code]"\t\t"[/code], or four spaces using [code]"    "[/code].
			</description>
		</method>

			<description>
				Performs a [b]case-insensitive[/b], [i]natural order[/i] comparison to another string. Returns [code]-1[/code] if less than, [code]1[/code] if greater than, or [code]0[/code] if equal. "Less than" or "greater than" are determined by the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters]Unicode code points[/url] of each string, which roughly matches the alphabetical order. Internally, lowercase characters are converted to uppercase for the comparison.
				When used for sorting, natural order comparison orders sequences of numbers by the combined value of each digit as is often expected, instead of the single digit's value. A sorted sequence of numbered strings will be [code]["1", "2", "3", ...][/code], not [code]["1", "10", "2", "3", ...][/code].
				With different string lengths, returns [code]1[/code] if this string is longer than the [param to] string, or [code]-1[/code] if shorter. Note that the length of empty strings is [i]always[/i] [code]0[/code].
				To get a [bool] result from a string comparison, use the [code]==[/code] operator instead. See also [method nocasecmp_to] and [method casecmp_to].

				Converts a [float] to a string representation of a decimal number, with the number of decimal places specified in [param decimals].
				If [param decimals] is [code]-1[/code] as by default, the string representation may only have up to 14 significant digits, with digits before the decimal point having priority over digits after.
				Trailing zeros are not included in the string. The last digit is rounded, not truncated.

				# Here, the last digit will be rounded up,
				# which reduces the total digit count, since trailing zeros are removed:
				String.num(42.129999, 5) # Returns "42.13"

				# If `decimals` is not specified, the maximum number of significant digits is 14:
				String.num(-0.0000012345432123454321)     # Returns "-0.00000123454321"

		<operator name="operator !=">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="right" type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if both strings do not contain the same sequence of characters.
			</description>
		</operator>
		<operator name="operator !=">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="right" type="StringName" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if this [String] is not equivalent to the given [StringName].
			</description>
		</operator>
		<operator name="operator %">
			<return type="String" />
			<param index="0" name="right" type="Variant" />
			<description>
				Formats the [String], replacing the placeholders with one or more parameters.
				To pass multiple parameters, [param right] needs to be an [Array].
				[codeblock]
				print("I caught %d fishes!" % 2) # Prints "I caught 2 fishes!"

				var my_message = "Travelling to %s, at %2.2f per second."
				var location = "Deep Valley"
				var speed = 40.3485
				print(my_message % [location, speed]) # Prints "Travelling to Deep Valley, at 40.35 km/h."
				[/codeblock]
				In C#, there is no direct equivalent to this operator. Use the [method format] method, instead.

			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the left [String] comes after [param right] in [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters]Unicode order[/url], which roughly matches the alphabetical order. Useful for sorting.

		<operator name="operator &gt;=">
			<return type="bool" />
			<param index="0" name="right" type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns [code]true[/code] if the left [String] comes after [param right] in [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters]Unicode order[/url], which roughly matches the alphabetical order, or if both are equal.

		</operator>
		<operator name="operator []">
			<return type="String" />
			<param index="0" name="index" type="int" />
			<description>
				Returns a new [String] that only contains the character at [param index]. Indices start from [code]0[/code]. If [param index] is greater or equal to [code]0[/code], the character is fetched starting from the beginning of the string. If [param index] is a negative value, it is fetched starting from the end. Accessing a string out-of-bounds will cause a run-time error, pausing the project execution if run from the editor.
