Declare String Variables

Declare String Variables

In JavaScript, variables are dynamic. That means they can hold numbers, strings, or any other data type at a given time. To declare a string, simply initialize (create) a variable:

var a;

Then, using single or double quotation marks, declare the string:

a = "Hello Camper!";
