String

Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's JavaScript journey — lesson 6 of 77.

A char is a single character (For example: 1, 6, %, b, p, ., T, etc.) — note that char is used here as a conceptual term; JavaScript does not have a dedicated char type.

The string type consists of one or more chars — a string can be a single character or many characters combined.

To initialize a string value in a variable, enclose it within single or double quotation marks:

let s1 = 'This is a string'
let s2 = "This is also a string"

In the above example, two string variables are initialized, named s1 and s2.

Challenge

Cheat sheet

A char is a single character (e.g., 1, 6, %, b, p, ., T).

A string consists of multiple chars. Initialize strings using single or double quotation marks:

let s1 = 'This is a string'
let s2 = "This is also a string"

Try it yourself

// Type your code below
let coddy = ?

// Don't change the line below
console.log(`coddy = "${coddy}"`)
