[removed] do primitive strings have methods?

Question

MDN states:

primitive, primitive value

A data that is not an object and does not have any methods. JavaScript has 5 primitive datatypes: string, n

Answer 1

The technically correct answer is "no".

The real-world answer is "no, but it will work anyway". That's because when you do something like

"s".replace()

the interpreter knows that you want to actually operate on the string as if you had created it with

var str = new String("s")

and therefore acts as if you had done that.
