STRINGS IN JAVA SCRIPT

In JavaScript, strings can be created using single quotes, double quotes, or backticks, with backticks allowing for variable inclusion. JavaScript is case-sensitive, meaning 'a' and 'A' are treated as different values. Strings are immutable, but you can reassign a variable to a new string value.

Create JavaScript Strings

In JavaScript, strings are created by surrounding them with quotes. There


are three ways you can use quotes.

 Single quotes: 'Hello'

 Double quotes: "Hello"

 Backticks: `Hello`

For example,

//strings example
const name = 'Peter';
const name1 = "Jack";
const result = `The names are ${name} and ${name1}`;

Single quotes and double quotes are practically the same and you can use
either of them.

Backticks are generally used when you need to include variables or


expressions into a string. This is done by wrapping variables or
expressions with ${variable or expression} as shown above.
You can also write a quote inside another quote. For example,

const name = 'My name is "Peter".';

However, the quote should not match the surrounding quotes. For
example,

const name = 'My name is 'Peter'.'; // error

JavaScript is Case-Sensitive

JavaScript is case-sensitive. That means in JavaScript, the lowercase and


uppercase letters are treated as different values. For example,
const a = 'a';
const b = 'A'
console.log(a === b); // false

In JavaScript, a and A are treated as different values.

JavaScript Multiline Strings

To use a multiline string, you can either use the + operator or


the \ operator. For example,

// using the + operator


const message1 = 'This is a long message ' +
'that spans across multiple lines' +
'in the code.'

// using the \ operator


const message2 = 'This is a long message \
that spans across multiple lines \
in the code.'

JavaScript String Length

To find the length of a string, you can use built-in length property. For
example,

const a = 'hello';
console.log(a.length); // 5

JavaScript Strings are immutable

In JavaScript, strings are immutable. That means the characters of a string


cannot be changed. For example,

let a = 'hello';
a[0] = 'H';
console.log(a); // "hello"

However, you can assign the variable name to a new string. For example,

let a = 'hello';
a = 'Hello';
console.log(a); // "Hello"
