name = input("Enter your name: ")

3. len()

Returns the number of characters/items.

Example:

str(42), int('7'), float('3.14')

5. Escape Characters

\n (newline), \t (tab), \\ (backslash), \", \'

Example:

- upper(), lower(), isalpha(), isdecimal()

- join(), split(), strip(), replace()

'-'.join(['a', 'b']) -> 'a-b'

9. Booleans & Expressions

True / False values from comparisons:

1 < 2 -> True

'hi' == 'Hi' -> False

10. Comparison Operators

==, !=, <, >, <=, >= -> used for comparisons

11. type()

Returns data type of value:

type("hello") -> <class 'str'>

12. Variables

Used to store data:
