Mathematical operations can be performed on a string. State whether 'True' or 'False'.Select one:TrueFalse

The statement that mathematical operations can be performed on a string is False.

In programming and mathematics, strings are sequences of characters and are typically not suitable for direct arithmetic operations, which are intended for numerical data types such as integers or floats. For example, trying to perform an addition operation on a string that contains text will result in an error or produce unexpected results, as strings represent text rather than numerical values.

However, if a string contains numeric characters (like '123'), then it can be converted to a numeric type (like an integer or float) in order to perform mathematical operations. Once converted, the numerical operations can be carried out. Therefore, as it stands, the original statement is false without the context of type conversion.

In summary, you cannot perform mathematical operations directly on strings without converting them to a numeric type first, hence the answer is False.
