📘 JavaScript String Methods – Manipulating and Formatting Strings

JavaScript provides many string methods that let you transform, extract, search, or replace text. These methods do not modify the original string (because strings are immutable in JS) but return a new string instead.

🔹 Commonly Used String Methods

Method Description Example
slice(start, end) Extracts part of a string "Hello".slice(1, 4) → "ell"
substring(start, end) Similar to slice(), but can't take negative indexes "Hello".substring(1, 4) → "ell"
substr(start, length) Returns length chars from start index (deprecated) "Hello".substr(1, 3) → "ell"
replace(find, replace) Replaces first match with new string "Hi John".replace("John", "Sam") → "Hi Sam"
replaceAll(find, replace) Replaces all matches "a-a-a".replaceAll("a", "b") → "b-b-b"
toUpperCase() Converts all letters to uppercase "hello".toUpperCase() → "HELLO"
toLowerCase() Converts all letters to lowercase "HELLO".toLowerCase() → "hello"
trim() Removes whitespace from both ends " hello ".trim() → "hello"
padStart(len, char) Pads the beginning of the string "5".padStart(3, "0") → "005"
padEnd(len, char) Pads the end of the string "5".padEnd(3, "*") → "5**"
repeat(n) Repeats the string n times "hi".repeat(3) → "hihihi"
split(delimiter) Splits string into array based on delimiter "a,b,c".split(",") → ["a", "b", "c"]

🔹 Examples

"JavaScript".slice(4);          // "Script"
"JavaScript".substring(0, 4);   // "Java"
"  hello  ".trim();             // "hello"
"5".padStart(3, "0");           // "005"
"abcabc".replaceAll("a", "*");  // "*bc*bc"
