In JavaScript you use the abbreviation var to declare a variable. Meanwhile, in Java you need to say what kind of data the variable contains. In this case the variable contains a String. (A string is a programming term for -a collection of characters. They "look like this". This 5m video is a good primer if you want to learn more.)

+a collection of characters. They "look like this".)

Both of these variables contain a string, but the difference is that in Java the variable can only ever contain a string, because that's what we said when we created the variable. In JS, the variable can change to be anything, like a number, or a list of dates.
