Python has quite a few methods that string objects can call to perform frequency occurring task (related to string). For example, if you want to capitalize the first letter of a string, you can use capitalize() method.
The page contains all methods of string objects. Also, the page includes built-in functions that can take string as a parameter and perform some task. For example, len() method returns the length of the string passed as a parameter to this function.
