JavaScript Reference: String
All about the JavaScript String properties and methods
The String object has one static method, String.fromCharCode()
, which is used to create a string representation from a sequence of Unicode characters. Here we build a simple string using the ASCII codes
String.fromCodePoint(70, 108, 97, 118, 105, 111) //'Flavio'
You can also use octal or hexadecimal numbers:
String.fromCodePoint(0x46, 0154, parseInt(141, 8), 118, 105, 111) //'Flavio'
All the other methods described here are instance methods: methods that are run on a string type.
