String Functions:

A string is a list of characters in order. A character is anything you can type on the
keyboard in one keystroke, like a letter, a number, or a backslash. Strings can have
spaces: "hello world". An empty string is a string that has 0 characters. Python
recognize as strings everything that is delimited by quotation marks (" " or ' ').
