In this video, you’ll learn how to:
🔹 Convert text to UPPERCASE using .upper()
🔹 Neaten messy text with lowercase using .lower()
🔹 Fix names properly with .title()
🔹 Count characters and words using the .count() method
🔹 Strip() out accidentally entered blank spaced from user input
🔹 Slice strings using indexes to grab specific parts of a word
🔹 Combine variables, concatenation and string methods to create cleaner, more controlled output

Whether you're just starting Python or studying GCSE Computer Science (OCR J277, AQA 8525, WJEC), this episode builds perfectly on:
✔ Episode 1 – Sequencing, print functions, and comments
✔ Episode 2 – Variables and concatenation

No selection. No iteration. Just clean, powerful sequential Python that every beginner needs.

⭐ What You’ll Be Able to Do After This Video:
✔ Transform the look of any string
✔ Clean user input
✔ Prepare data for future logic and algorithms
✔ Slice and extract meaningful text
✔ Build more professional and readable Python code

🧪 Techniques Covered in This Episode:
string.upper()
string.lower()
string.title()
string.strip()
string.count()
string[start:end] (slicing)

These skills will become essential when we move on to selection, input validation, loops, and larger programs later in the StudyMonster series.
