Line length Open
String specifications among programming languages vary, however most languages treat them as reference types. But strings in JavaScript are different. They are **immutable primitives**. This means that the characters within them may not be changed and that any operations on strings actually create new strings.- Read upRead up

Tags: line_length
Aliases: line-length Parameters: linelength, codeblocks, tables (number; default 80, boolean; default true)
This rule is triggered when there are lines that are longer than the configured line length (default: 80 characters). To fix this, split the line up into multiple lines.
This rule has an exception where there is no whitespace beyond the configured line length. This allows you to still include items such as long URLs without being forced to break them in the middle.
You also have the option to exclude this rule for code blocks and tables. To
do this, set the code_blocks and/or tables parameters to false.
Code blocks are included in this rule by default since it is often a requirement for document readability, and tentatively compatible with code rules. Still, some languages do not lend themselves to short lines.

It helps to think of strings in the way that we think of numbers, if we are to better understand how they work. Numeric values are also immutable primitives. If, for example, you could mutate numbers, you could change the meaning of the value `42` to be another number, say `13`. In the same sense, you cannot mutate a string with a value of `gem` to make it `gym`.- Read upRead up
