JavaScript String Operators

Last Updated : 23 Nov, 2024

JavaScript String Operators are used to manipulate and perform operations on strings. There are two operators which are used to modify strings in JavaScript. These operators help us to join one string to another string.

1. Concatenate Operator

Concatenate Operator in JavaScript combines strings using the '+' operator and creates a new string.

JavaScript
let s1 = "Geeks";
let s2 = "forGeeks";
let res = (s1 + s2);
console.log(res);

Output
GeeksforGeeks

2. Concatenate Assignment Operator

We can modify one string by adding content of another one to it.

JavaScript
let s1 = "Geeks";
let s2 = "forGeeks";

s1 += s2; 
console.log(s1);

Output
GeeksforGeeks

3. Comparison Operators

Equality (==) : Checks if two strings are equal (ignoring type).

JavaScript
let s1 = "gfg";
let s2 = "gfg";

console.log(s1 == s2);

Output
true

Here is an example to show that type checking is ignored.

JavaScript
let s1 = "gfg"; // Primitive Type
let s2 = new String("gfg"); // Object type

console.log(s1 == s2); 

Output
true

Strict Equality (===) : Checks if two strings are equal in value and type both.

JavaScript
let s1 = "gfg"; // Primitive Type
let s2 = new String("gfg"); // Object type

console.log(s1 === s2); // false

Output
false

Inequality (!=) : Checks if two strings are not equal (ignoring type).

JavaScript
let s1 = "gfg";
let s2 = "ggg";

console.log(s1 != s2);

Output
true

Here is an example to show that type checking is ignored.

JavaScript
let s1 = "gfg"; // Primitive Type
let s2 = new String("ggg"); // Object type

console.log(s1 != s2); 

Output
true

Strict Inequality (!==) : Checks if two strings are equal in value and type both.

JavaScript
let s1 = "gfg"; // Primitive Type
let s2 = new String("ggg"); // Object type

console.log(s1 !== s2); 

Output
true


Lexicographical Comparison (<, >, <=, >=): Compares strings based on Unicode values.

JavaScript
let s1 = "age";
let s2 = "bat";

console.log(s1 < s2);  // true
console.log(s1 > s2);  // false
console.log(s1 <= s2); // true
console.log(s1 >= s2); // false

Output
true
false
true
false
