#*You can access the invidual characters in a string via numeric index which
# is specified in square brackets.
#*Indices range from zero (first character in a string) to the length of the string
# minus one.
#*The 'len' function can take a string as an argument and it returns the length
# of the sring e.g. len("bath") returns 4
#* e.g. The indices for the string: "bath" are 0,1,2,3
