This helped me understand immutability better. Thank you! Great videos.

You make the material not dry. Great job on the tuts! Was having trouble with other tuts.

Important point - The strings of JS are just like arrays in other languages, difference being immutability in JS. - The first letter of a string myString is queried by ... myString[0] . - The last letter by ... myString[myString.length - 1] .

Thank you for this clear explanation.

Like in c++ a string is an array of chars.

What program are you running this in please?

[@cesarcruz96]

can someone please post a practical example of how indexing in javascript is used? I am learning along but am having a hard time connecting this and other concepts to how I might use them later on in dev.

I think in practise you will never use that as it in this video... because it's just for tutorial. but I can give you an example, something like this: // *********************************** var message = "This sentence shouldn't to start with symbol 'a'!"; if ( message ) // this means that message is // not "", not null, not undefined, and not "0", // or with one word: it's not false { if ( message[0] !== "a" ) { console.log( "The message have at least one character and it not started with symbol 'a'." ); } else { alert( "Please enter valid message, which is not starting with symbol 'a'!" ); window.location.reload(); } }
