A heavy snowpack is fun for skiers and sledders, and it also acts like an open-air storage tank that melts away to provide water for drinking, irrigation and other purposes during dry months. But exactly how much water is…

In this article, we will try to understand how the Strings are stored in JavaScript. Strings are a primitive data type in JavaScript and are allocated a special place in the memory to store and manipulate. The special place allocated in the memory is known as String Constant Pool. The string constant pool is a small cache that resides within the heap. JavaScript stores all the values inside the string constant pool on direct allocation.In other words, the string constant pool exists mainly to reduce memory usage and…

Internally JavaScript stores characters as String only. In JavaScript, a String of length only is considered a character. Since a character is also a string so character also gets stored in a string constant pool.The string constant pool is a small cache that resides within the heap. JavaScript…

In this article, we will try to understand how numbers are stored in JavaScript. Like any other programming language, all the data is stored inside the computer in the form of binary numbers 0 and 1. Since computers can only understand and process data in the form of 0’s and 1’s.In JavaScript, there is generally only a Number as a primitive data type but the numbers are of the form Integer and float. So these types come under the Number data type and are internally stored according to their different formats depending…
