Study Notes
Advanced Web Programming - Chapter 8: Types, Primitives, and Objects - Strings
- Strings in JavaScript are sequences of characters
- Strings can be defined using single quotes (' ') or double quotes (" ")
- Combining strings: Use the + operator to concatenate strings
- Accessing individual characters: Use bracket notation (e.g.,
string[index]) - Index positions start at 0
-
slice()method extracts a portion of a string, specifies start and end positions -
substr()method extracts a portion of a string, specifies starting position and length -
split()method divides a string into an array of substrings based on a delimiter -
indexOf()finds the first occurrence of a substring -
lastIndexOf()finds the last occurrence of a substring -
toUpperCase()converts a string to uppercase -
toLowerCase()converts a string to lowercase
Types in JavaScript
- Basic types: String, Number, Boolean, Null, Undefined, Object
- Primitive types: String, Number, Boolean, Null, Undefined
- Complex types: Object
- Types can be simple or complex
- Terminology: Primitive vs Object
What are Objects?
- Objects have different shapes, sizes, and usefulness
- Objects are abstractions
- Table 11.2 shows pre-defined JavaScript objects (e.g., Array, Boolean, Date, Function, Math, Number, RegExp, String)
Additional String Methods
-
charAt(index)returns the character at a specified index -
match()uses a regular expression to find a match in a string
