JavaScript String

The JavaScript string is an object that represents a sequence of characters.

There are 2 ways to create string in JavaScript

1. By string literal
2. By string object (using new keyword)

1) By string literal
The string literal is created using double quotes. The syntax of creating string using
string literal is given below:

1. var stringname="string value";

Let's see the simple example of creating string literal.

1. <script>
2. var str="This is string literal";
3. document.write(str);
4. </script>
Test it Now

Output:

This is string literal

2) By string object (using new keyword)


The syntax of creating string object using new keyword is given below:
1. var stringname=new String("string literal");

Here, new keyword is used to create instance of string.

Let's see the example of creating string in JavaScript by new keyword.

1. <script>
2. var stringname=new String("hello javascript string");
3. document.write(stringname);
4. </script>
Test it Now

Output:

hello javascript string

JavaScript String Methods

charCodeAt() It provides the Unicode value of a character present at the specified index.

concat() It provides a combination of two or more strings.

indexOf() It provides the position of a char value present in the given string.

lastIndexOf() It provides the position of a char value present in the given string by
searching a character from the last position.

search() It searches a specified regular expression in a given string and returns its
position if a match occurs.

match() It searches a specified regular expression in a given string and returns that
regular expression if a match occurs.
