Puede contener cualquier combinaci\u00f3n de letras, n\u00fameros, s\u00edmbolos y espacios.

For example:<\/p>\n<pre>\nvar nombre = &#039;Juan&#039;;\nvar mensaje = &quot;Hola &quot; + nombre + &quot;! \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1s?&quot;;\n<\/pre>\n<p>En el ejemplo anterior, hemos creado dos variables: nombre y mensaje. La variable nombre contiene la cadena &#039;Juan&#039;, mientras que la variable mensaje combina la cadena &#039;Hola &#039; con el valor de la variable nombre y la cadena &#039; \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1s?&#039;.<\/p>\n<p>We can also use the String constructor to create an instance of an object of type String:<\/p>\n<pre>\nvar cadena = new String(&#039;Esto es una cadena&#039;);\n<\/pre>\n<p>However, in most cases, it is more common and convenient to use direct assignment with single or double quotes to create strings in JavaScript.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manipulacion_de_cadenas_en_JavaScript\"><\/span>String manipulation in JavaScript<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>JavaScript provides a variety of methods and properties for manipulating text strings:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Metodos_de_cadena_comunes\"><\/span>Common string methods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Below are some of the most common methods used to manipulate strings in JavaScript:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>length: returns the length of a string.<\/li>\n<li>toUpperCase(): Converts a string to uppercase.<\/li>\n<li>toLowerCase(): Converts a string to lowercase.<\/li>\n<li>charAt(index): Returns the character at the specified position in a string.<\/li>\n<li>concat(string): Combines two or more strings.<\/li>\n<li>indexOf(string): Returns the position of the first occurrence of a string within another string.<\/li>\n<li>substring(start, end): Returns a part of a string, specifying the start and end.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are just a few examples of the methods available for manipulating strings in JavaScript.
