Explanation
String- E.g: "sdfesdfe"
For a variable to be a string type, the value assigned should be given in quotes.
A number given within quotes will be considered only as a string and not as an integer.
i.e if
var a = "2";
var b = "2";
then a+b will give "22" and not 4.
Special Character's: To use the special characters like tab, newline, back space, double quotes, etc.. in string variable the following format should be used
Character | Code to be used |
Single Quote | ' |
Double Quote | \" |
Backslash | \ |

New Line | n |
Back Space | b |
Carriage Return | r |
Example:
<script language="javascript">
var as = "this is "a" 'test'";
document.write(as);
</script>
Result:
this is "a" 'test'
