 So some of the other functions that we have at our disposal are something known as Len now what Len does as as you can see It's going to give me the length of a string which is actually very nice when we think about it because Let's say for example. I do just an a It'll tell me I have one character in there now you saw that When I did kind of open this up return the number of items in a container Well, obviously get into this entire concept of containers later on But for our sake this allows me to just see how many letters were typed or are kind of in this That's where we get into kind of some interesting points something like spaces still technically count in this Len I write the word happy, but I've put a space in between each letter that now all of a sudden each one of those counts There's a space two three four plus the word happy So what happens if say for example, I come in and I do something like Happy slash slash birthday Well, you can see over here. I've got a nice old 14 indicating for happy birthday with a space and you know guessing Okay, be 15 No, no, it's still a 14. You see the reason why is because this is known as an escape character Think of it this way if you remember we had something like The degree symbol That I can look at and if you notice just how I typed it when I type it out add to kind of print it out I do slash you zero zero B zero and it gets printed out as that well the same things actually happening Let's say for example, I did Lynn 50 degrees so slash you zero zero B zero Yeah, 50 degrees Well, what I'm seeing is suddenly I get one two three four five six seven eight nine characters So I should see nine instead. I see Four because if I did make this statement and I did print it out Instead of will end it. That's exactly what I see. I see four characters instead We do also have some other kind of neat Handy-dandy methods to work with we also have this idea of min and max and the same kind of concept comes into play here is that if I happen to have say for example a Group of numbers I can use min to get the smallest number If I have a group of numbers and I want to find the maximum I can use max to find the maximum number
