Strings and Template Literals

Wrap text in backticks to make a template literal: anything inside ${...} is worked out and dropped into the string. Strings also come with methods: .toUpperCase(), .trim(), .includes(), .split(), .replace(), and the .length property counts characters. String methods return a new string; the original never changes.

How it reads

• Backticks plus ${...} drop values straight into text
• .trim() removes spaces from both ends
• .split(" ") breaks text into an array of words

Cloud tip: Template literals can span several lines, which makes them handy for longer messages.
