How To Index, Split, and Manipulate Strings in JavaScript

Updated on August 24, 2021
πŸ‘ How To Index, Split, and Manipulate Strings in JavaScript

Introduction

A string is a sequence of one or more characters that may consist of letters, numbers, or symbols. Each character in a JavaScript string can be accessed by an index number, and all strings have methods and properties available to them.

In this tutorial, we will learn the difference between string primitives and the String object, how strings are indexed, how to access characters in a string, and common properties and methods used on strings.

Thanks for learning with the DigitalOcean Community. Check out our offerings for compute, storage, networking, and managed databases.

I’m afraid there is a slight inaccuracy here: "If an empty parameter is given, split() will create a comma-separated array with each character in the string." This way split() creates an array with the string. And to create a comma-separated array with each character in the string we should use .split('').

Thank you very much. Your articles are very useful =)
