Strings
Most programming languages have a data type called a string
, which denotes a sequence of characters, such as Hello World!
. A string can contain any characters, be it a number, alphabet, or a special symbol. In most programming languages, strings are declared by enclosing the characters within single ('')
or double quotation marks ("")
. These strings can be assigned to variables, which can then be used for further manipulation using string properties and methods.
Strings can also be defined as a sequence which are made up of many unicode
characters, or in other words, they are an array of characters
. Each character in a string can be accessed, and different programming languages provide different methods to perform this operation, as we'll see below.
Now let's have a closer look at strings in JavaScript.
