A string in Javascript represents a sequence of characters.
Strings are useful for holding data that can be represented in textual forms. Some of the most-used operations on strings are to check their length
, to build and concatenate them using the + and += string operators, checking for the existence or location of substrings with the indexOf()
method, or extracting substrings with the substring()
method.
