The String Type

The String type is the object representation for strings and is created using the String constructor:

 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Example</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var stringObject = new String("hello world"); 
        document.writeln(stringObject);
    </script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

valueOf(), toLocaleString(), and toString() - return the object's primitive string value.

We can access an individual character with bracket notation and a numeric index:

 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Example</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var stringValue = "hello world"; 
        document.writeln(stringValue[1]); //"e" 
       
    </script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
