used for holding text

3 ways to create strings:

1. using single quotes:

   const first = 'Soumya';

2. using double quotes:

   const middle = "Ranjan";

3. using backticks:

   	const last = `Mohanty`;
   

single quotes and double quotes are the same thing.

used for: "she's cool"

or escaping: 'she\\'s cool'

backticks:

const sentence = `she's so "cool"`;
console.log(sentence); // she's so "cool"

Multi-line string:

const song = 'Oh \\
I like \\
pizza';

console.log(song); // Oh I like pizza

const song = `Oh
I like
pizza`;

console.log(song); 
/*
Oh
I like
pizza
*/

2nd one using backticks is mostly used.

String concatenation and interpolation

• '+' is used for concatenation. It is also used for adding 2 nos.
• Concatenation: when 2 or more strings combined to one
• Interpolation: when you put a variable inside a string
• Example 1:

const name = 'Soumya';

const hello = 'Hello my name is ' + name + '. Nice to meet you.'

(can use double or single quotes)

• Example 2:

1+1 // 2
'1'+'1' // 11
1 + '1' // 11

• Example 3:

const name = 'Soumya';
const hello = `Hello my name is ${name}. Nice to meet you. I am ${100+1} years old.`;
console.log(hello); // Hello my name is Soumya. Nice to meet you. I am 101 years old.

• Backticks also used for tagged template literals.

• Backticks are helpful for creating HTML:

  const html = `
  	<div>
  		<h2>Hey everyone! I am ${name}.</h2>
  	</div>
  `;
