Afterall, a string is truly only one memory allocation whereas array elements are basically multiple vars having the same name. So - how can you unset one char in a string? It depends upon the language -- while it is true that the start of a string is located at a memory address, the chars of the string are identical to the chars in an array. As such, you can view a string as an array. Each index is representative of a char (one byte) in the string.
