Strings in JavaScript

In this Article, we will discuss different functions that are used with String Values in JavaScript

A string is a text inside the quotes which can be either single or double quotes.

var result = string1 + " " + string2;
alert(result);

Example using concat() method:-

var string1 = "Hello and Welcome";
var string2 = "to the Strings in JavaScript";
var result = string1.concat(" ", string2);
alert(result);

Output of the above both Examples : Hello and Welcome to the Strings in JavaScript
