Javascript String

The strings in JavaScript is an object that represents a sequence of characters. To create strings in JavaScript, there are two methods available:

String literal method

1. String Literal Method

The string literal is generally created with the use of double quotes. Here is the syntax for creating string using string literal:

var stringname="string value";

Here is the example for creating string literal:

<script>  
var str="Hello PHPTPOINT";  
document.write(str);  
</script>

Output : Hello PHPTPOINT

2.String Object (using new keyword) Method

Here is the syntax for creating string in JavaScript using new keyword:

<script>  
var stringname=new String("hello PHPTPOINT");  
document.write(stringname);  
</script>

Output : Hello PHPTPOINT
