Manipulating strings with methods

Methods are special functions that are attached to objects. Certain data types have methods that are convenient for manipulating the data. For example, the .upper() method manipulates string variables by returning the uppercase version of a string. The .lower() method returns the lowercase version of the string.

city = 'New York'
print(city.lower())

new york

Another very useful method for strings is .format(), which replaces any curly brackets in a string with the arguments passed into it.

city = 'New York'
print("City: {}".format(city))

City: New York
