So here in my strmanip_start file, I have to find a sample string to get us started. So, to convert between upper- and lower-case letters, you can use the upper and lower functions, so I'll use print, and I'll write test_string1.upper, and then we'll do the same thing, only in this case I'll use the lower function. So let's save and let's run this, and you can see the effect on the sample string. All right, now let's try out the split and join functions. So, I'll comment those guys out and clear the terminal. The split function can be used to break up a single text string into multiple strings, so if I wanted to isolate each of the words in this string into an array, I can use the split function to split the string on the space character. So let's try that out, and I give the split function the character…
