Note that JavaScript distinguishes between String objects and primitive string values. (The same is true of Boolean and Numbers.)
String literals (denoted by double or single quotes) and strings returned from String calls in a non-constructor context (that is, called without using the new keyword) are primitive strings. In contexts where a method is to be invoked on a primitive string or a property lookup occurs, JavaScript will automatically wrap the string primitive and call the method or perform the property lookup on the wrapper object instead.
```
let s_prim = 'foo'
let s_obj = new String(s_prim)
console.log(typeof s_prim) // Logs "string"
console.log(typeof s_obj) // Logs "object"
```
