Working with Text
7 min · Python
Join text together, measure it, and change its case.
Text values are called strings — just characters inside quotes. You can join two strings with a plus sign. That joining is called concatenation.
Run this to glue a greeting and a name into one line.
f-strings: drop values straight into text
Joining with + gets clumsy fast. A cleaner way is an f-string: put the letter f before the opening quote, then wrap any variable in { } right inside the text.

Useful string tools
len(x) tells you how many characters a string has. And .upper() / .lower() give you a new copy in upper- or lower-case.
Your turn
Set first = "Grace" and last = "Hopper", then print them as one name with a space between: Grace Hopper
