val length : string -> nat

jsligo

let length: (s: string) => nat

let size_op (s : string) : nat = String.length s

Note that String.size is deprecated.

jsligo

let size_op = (s: string): nat => String.length(s);

val sub : nat -> nat -> string -> string

jsligo

let sub: (offset: nat, length: nat, s: string) => string

Extract a substring from a string based on the given offset and length. For example the string "abcd" given to the function below would return "bc".

jsligo

let concat_syntax = (s: string): string => String.concat(s, "test_literal");

Alternatively:
