Strings and Its Operations

In JavaScript, a string is a sequence of characters enclosed within single or double quotes. It represents
text data and is one of the primitive data types in the language.

String Operations:
String operations involve manipulating or working with strings. This includes tasks such as
concatenation, splitting, extracting substrings, replacing characters, converting case, and more.

Code :
let str1 = "Hello";
let str2 = "World";
let combinedStr = str1 + " " + str2; // String concatenation
console.log(combinedStr); // Output: Hello World

String Methods:
JavaScript provides numerous built-in methods for performing operations on strings. These methods
offer functionalities like searching within strings, extracting parts of strings, converting cases, trimming
whitespace, and more.

Code :
let sentence = "JavaScript is awesome";
console.log(sentence.length); // Length of string
console.log(sentence.toUpperCase()); // Convert to uppercase
console.log(sentence.includes("awesome")); // Check substring presence
console.log(sentence.split(" ")); // Split string into array by space

String Operators and Concatenation:

String operators are used for string concatenation, comparison, and manipulation. Concatenation is the
process of combining two or more strings into one.

Code:
let firstName = "John";
let lastName = "Doe";
let fullName = firstName + " " + lastName; // String concatenation
console.log(fullName); // Output: John Doe

String to Array and Array to String Conversations:

JavaScript provides methods for converting strings to arrays and vice versa. This conversion is useful for
tasks like splitting a string into substrings or joining array elements into a single string.

Code :

let str = "apple,banana,grape";

let arr = str.split(","); // Convert string to array
console.log(arr); // Output: ["apple", "banana", "grape"]
let newStr = arr.join("-"); // Convert array to string
console.log(newStr); // Output: apple-banana-grape

Basic Coding Questions on Strings:

Basic coding questions on strings often involve tasks such as checking for substring presence, reversing
strings, finding the length of strings, counting occurrences of characters, and so on.

1. Reverse a String
Question: Write a function to reverse a given string.
Code :

function reverseString(str) {
return str.split("").reverse().join("");
}

// Test the function

console.log(reverseString("hello")); // Output: olleh

2. Check Palindrome
Question: Write a function to determine if a string is a palindrome (reads the same forwards
and backwards).
Code :

function isPalindrome(str) {
const reversed = str.split("").reverse().join("");
return str === reversed;
}

// Test the function

console.log(isPalindrome("racecar")); // Output: true
console.log(isPalindrome("hello")); // Output: false

8. Count Characters
Question: Write a function to count the occurrences of each character in a string.
Code:
function countCharacters(str) {
const charCount = {};
for (let char of str) {
charCount[char] = (charCount[char] || 0) + 1;
}
return charCount;
}
