Javascripting 3-5/19: String

 ## STRINGS (3/19)

 A string is a sequence of characters. A character is, roughly speaking, a  written symbol. 

Examples of characters are letters, numbers, punctuation  marks(标点符号), and spaces.

String values are surrounded by either single or double quotation marks.

     'this is a string'

     "this is also a string"

 ## STRING LENGTH (4/19)

  You will often need to know how many characters are in a string.
  For this you will use the .length property. Here's an example:


     var example = 'example string';
     example.length


 ## NOTE

  Make sure there is a period between example and length.
  The above code will return a number for the total number of characters in  the string.

 ## REVISING STRINGS (5/19)

  You will often need to change the contents of a string.
  Strings have built-in functionality that allow you to inspect and  manipulate their contents.

  Here is an example using the .replace() method:


     var example = 'this example exists';
     example = example.replace('exists', 'is awesome');
     console.log(example);


  Note that to change the value that the example variable references, we need to use the equals sign again, 

this time with the example.replace()  method to the right of the equals sign.
