What is the [string](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1717/string-string-builder-and-string-buffer-in-java) object and why are using the string in JS. ## Answers ### Answer by Ethan Karla The String object lets you work with a series of characters; it wraps JavaScript string primitive data type with a number of helper methods. As JavaScript automatically converts between string primitives and String objects, you can call any of the helper methods of the String object on a string primitive. A String is a collection of characters (or) sequence of characters, which is always enclosed with a single (‘’) or double quotes (“”). A JavaScript string stores a series of characters like “MindStick”. • It is used to storing single characters, and • It stores an array of characters • It is used to manipulating text – search a particular letter and replace text **Note** It is immutable, the string cannot be changed in JavaScript. It is impossible to change a particular character. **Creation of string** **• By string literal** var string-name = “string value”; zero or more characters written inside single or double quotes or backticks. The string indexes are zero-based, the first character is in position 0 and the second in 1. **• By string object using ‘new’ keyword** var string name = new string (“string value”); In this, a new keyword is used to create an instance of a string. The string object has some disadvantages, for example, the execution speed is slow. **String literals** ```
