"""On Beyond Strings
Now that you understand what functions are and how to import modules, let's look at
some of the functions that are built in to Python (no modules required!).

You already know about some of the built-in functions we've used with strings,
such as .upper(), .lower(), str(), and len(). These are great for doing work with strings,
but what about something a little more analytic?
