A string is a sequence of characters. A character is, roughly speaking, a written symbol. Examples of characters are letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and spaces.

String values are surrounded by either single or double quotation marks.

'this is a string'

"this is also a string"

Try to stay consistent. In this workshop we'll only use single quotation marks.

For this challenge, create a file named strings.js.

In that file create a variable named someString like this:

var someString = 'this is a string';

Use console.log to print the variable someString to the terminal.

Check to see if your program is correct by running this command:

javascripting verify strings.js
