Do Not Declare Strings, Numbers, and Booleans as Objects!

When a JavaScript variable is declared with the keyword "new", the variable is created as an object:

   var x = new String();  // Declares x as a String object

   var y = new Number();  // Declares y as a Number object

   var z = new Boolean();  // Declares z as a Boolean object

Avoid String, Number, and Boolean objects. They complicate your code and slow down execution speed.

More about objects later in this tutorial. (Gawd! I hate this More Later crap!)
