Text Processing in JavaScript

Visualizing `String` and `RegExp` objects for handling text data.

String

The primitive data type for representing text. A string is an immutable sequence of characters. JavaScript provides many built-in methods for manipulation, searching, and extracting parts of a string.

const text = 'Hello, World!';
text.slice(0, 5); // 'Hello'

A string is a sequence of characters, each with its own index. We can access and manipulate these characters based on their position.

Hello, World!

Index:
Character:


RegExp

The object for representing **regular expressions**, which are patterns used to match character combinations in strings. It's a powerful tool for complex searching, replacing, and validation.

const pattern = /world/i;
pattern.test('Hello, World!'); // true

A regular expression is a pattern-matching engine. It scans a string and highlights all parts that match its rules.

String: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Pattern: /fox/
