"Pawan Kumar".toUpperCase();

That’s because when write something like
"Pawan Kumar".toUpperCase()Javascript secrely creates an object wrapper and call the method for you:
(new String("Pawan Kumar")).toUpperCase()and this object wrapper has all the methods of String Class. Once the operation is done, this object wrapper is collected by almighty garbage collection leaving the the primitive alone
