String Functions

There are two things you can do to a string to get certain pieces of information from it.

Get String Length:

len()

This gets you the length of the variable that you enter into the brackets. The variable has to be a string.

Print A Specific Spot In A String

Using [] brackets, you can get a specific letter at a specific spot in a string.
