- Definition: A string is a sequence of characters wrapped in either single quotes, double quotes or backticks. Strings are primitive data types and they are immutable. Immutability means that once a string is created, is cannot be changed.
- Accessing Characters from a String: To access a character from a string you can use bracket notation and pass in the index number. An index is the position of a character within a string, and it is zero-based.
const developer = "Jessica";
developer[0] // J\n(Newline Character): You can create a newline in a string by using the\nnewline character.
const poem = "Roses are red,\nViolets are blue,\nJavaScript is fun,\nAnd so are you.";
console.log(poem);- Escaping Strings: You can escape characters in a string by placing backlashes (
\) in front of the quotes.
const statement = "She said, \"Hello!\"";
console.log(statement); // She said, "Hello!"Other Common String Methods
