What are strings?

Strings are a sequence of characters, like letters, numbers, or symbols, that you can use in your code. Think of them as a digital version of your favorite book or a message you send to a friend.

Creating a String?

In JavaScript, you can create a string by enclosing text in single (‘ ‘) or double (“ “) quotes. For example:

let greeting = "Hello, Friend";
let name = 'Alice';

Combining Strings (Concatenation)

Imagine you want to greet someone by combining their name with a message. We can do that with a simple operation called concatenation.

let greeting = "Hello, Friend";
let name = 'Alice';
let message = greeting + name;
console.log(message) //outputs Hello, Friend Alice;

The plus (+) operator is known as the concatenation operator, which is used to combine two strings.
