Demystifying JavaScript String Methods: Exploring 34 Methods in One Video

TLDRLearn about the 34 string methods in JavaScript in one comprehensive video. Understand string objects, properties, methods, and how to access characters. Explore the length property, index of, last index of, slice, and substring methods.

Key insights

📚JavaScript provides 34 string methods, allowing you to perform various operations on strings.

🔢The length property of the string object gives you the number of characters in a string.

🔍The index of method helps you find the position of a specific character or substring in a string.

➡️The slice method allows you to extract a section of a string by specifying start and end positions.

The substring method is similar to slice, but it uses start and end indices rather than positions.

Q&A

How many string methods does JavaScript provide?

JavaScript provides 34 string methods that you can use to manipulate and work with strings.

What does the length property of the string object return?

The length property returns the number of characters in a string.

How can I find the position of a specific character in a string?

You can use the index of method, which returns the index of the first occurrence of a specified character or substring in a string.

How does the slice method work?

The slice method allows you to extract a portion of a string by specifying the start and end positions. It returns a new string containing the extracted portion.

What is the difference between slice and substring?

Both slice and substring allow you to extract a section of a string, but slice uses start and end positions, while substring uses start and end indices.
