/*
* STRING MANIPULATION
*
* 0. We learned with strings that they go between quotes but there are also ways to manipulate strings
* like accessing the characters within it or comparing/finding its length.
*
* 1. Some of the most usefull ways to operate on a string is checking its length, to build and
*    concatenate them using the + and += string operators, checking for the existence or location
*    of substrings with the indexof() method, or extracting substrings with the substring() method.

  // Character Access //
  // (anyString.charAt(0)); // accesses the first character in that string //
  console.log(('Maria'.charAt(0)));
  //this works as well //
  var name = 'Maria';
  console.log(name[0]);


  // We can do this to find out of the length //
  var firstName = 'Maria';
  console.log(firstName.length);

  // Comparing Strings //
  var a = 'a';
  var b = 'b';
  if (a < b) { // true
  console.log(a + ' is less than ' + b);
  } else if (a > b) {
  console.log(a + ' is greater than ' + b);
  } else {
  console.log(a + ' and ' + b + ' are equal.');
  }

  // Combining strings or "Concatenating" //
  var myVariable1 = 'Maria + ';
  var myVariable2 = 'Emily';
  console.log(myVariable1.concat(myVariable2));
