"Double"

'Single'

``Backtick`

Strings are text wrapped in quotes.
Use Backticks (`) for super-powers like multi-line text and variables!

// Modern (Backticks)
let dynamic = `Hello ${name}`;

// Old School (Concatenation)
let simple = 'Hello ' + name;

Quotes vs Backticks

In JavaScript, you can use single (') or double (") quotes for simple text. But the real magic happens with backticks (`). They unlock multi-line strings and dynamic variables!

Concatenation

Before modern JavaScript, we used the '+' operator to glue strings together. This is called concatenation. It works, but it's easy to forget spaces!

Template Literals

Tired of clunky concatenation with '+'? Use Template Literals! Wrap your string in backticks and insert variables directly using `${variable}`. It's cleaner and easier to read.

String Methods

Strings come with powerful built-in tools. You can force text to UPPERCASE, trim away whitespace, or check if a word exists inside. No manual loops required!

Character Access

Under the hood, strings are just a sequence of characters. You can grab any letter using its index, starting from 0. Be careful not to go out of bounds!
