What does a string have to have to be definable? Does it have to include a variable?

  1. Can any letter be used to follow the % sign to denote a variable?
  2. What does a sting have to contain in order to be defined as a string?

I'd recommend reviewing some documentation on Ruby Strings, I think it will give you a better understanding of what they are and how they are typically used, these two are a good start: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/ruby/ruby_strings.htm and http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.0/String.html
