A string in JavaScript is a sequence of characters enclosed in single (‘), double (“), or backticks (`). Strings in JavaScript are immutable, meaning their contents cannot be changed after creation. Any operation that modifies a string actually creates a new string.

Example:

JavaScript 
let s = "GfG"; console.log(s[0]); console.log(s.length);

Output
G 3

Common String Methods in JavaScript:

  • length – Returns the number of characters in a string.
  • charAt(index) – Returns the character at the specified index.
  • slice(start, end) – Extracts a section of a string and returns it as a new string.
  • substring(start, end) – Similar to slice(), but does not accept negative indices.
  • toUpperCase() / toLowerCase() – Converts the string to uppercase or lowercase.
  • trim() – Removes whitespace from both ends of a string.
  • replace(searchValue, newValue) – Replaces a specified value with another value in a string.
  • split(separator) – Splits a string into an array based on a specified separator.
  • includes(substring) – Checks if a string contains a given substring, returning true or false.
  • concat(str1, str2, …) – Joins two or more strings together.
  • Please refer JavaScript String Methods for more methods.
