    print("string.upper(): " + string.upper())
    print("string.find('e'): " + str(string.find('e')))
    print("len(string): " + str(len(string)))
    print("string.replace('H', 'j'): " + string.replace('H', 'j')) 
    print("string[::-1]: " + string[::-1])
    print("string[2:4]: " + string[2:4])
    print("string.strip('H'): " + string.strip('H'))
