| String type deals with a single character or a series of characters enclosed with single quotes or double quotes respectively. |
| Initializing string type variables |
| var sect = ‘a’ |
| var is JavaScript keyword, sect is a variable name, a is value assigned to sect variable, variable sect is of string type because the value assigned to sect is of string type. |
| var country=”India” |
| var is JavaScript keyword, country is a variable name, India is value assigned to country variable, variable country is of string type because the value assigned to country is of string type. |

| <html>
<head> </head> <body> <script type=”text/JavaScript”> var sect=’a’ document.write(“Section is : “+sect); </script > </body> </html> |
