+
+Practice Problem #1
+
+Activity 1: Searching Strings
+Write a program to:
+Check if the text "JavaScript" is in the string "Learning JavaScript is fun!" using includes.
+Find the position of the word "fun" in the string.
+
+Activity 2: Transforming Strings
+Convert the string " CODE BOOTCAMP " to lowercase and remove all extra whitespace.
+Replace "BOOTCAMP" with "JavaScript" in the transformed string.
+
+Activity 3: Breaking Apart a Sentence
+Split the sentence "Coding is fun and educational" into an array of words.
+
+Activity 4: Retrieving Substrings
+Retrieve the first character of "Bootcamp" using charAt.
+Extract the word "camp" from "Bootcamp" using slice.
+
+Advanced Challenge
+Write a program to process the following string:
+Customer: John Doe
+Order: Apple, Banana, Grape
+Total: $20.50
+Extract the customer name.
+Split the order into an array of items.
+Convert the total price to uppercase (e.g., "TOTAL: $20.50").
+
+
+Practice Problem #2
+
+Objective
+Practice using common string methods to manipulate and extract information from strings.
+
+Instructions:
+You are tasked with processing a single string and
+performing a series of operations using the string methods covered in the lesson.
+Each task corresponds to one or more methods and can be completed independently.
+
+String to Use:
+  let inputString = "  Welcome to the Coding Bootcamp! Learn JavaScript today.  ";
+
+Tasks:
+Complete the following tasks and assign the results to the specified variables. Log each result to the console.
+
+1. Searching
+  - Check if the word "JavaScript" is in the string using includes and assign the result to a variable named hasJavaScript.
+  - Find the position of the word "Coding" in the string using indexOf and assign the result to a variable named codingPosition.
+  - Check if the string starts with "Welcome" using startsWith and assign the result to a variable named startsWithWelcome.
+  - Check if the string ends with "today." using endsWith and assign the result to a variable named endsWithToday.
+
+2. Transforming
+  - Convert the string to all lowercase letters using toLowerCase and assign the result to a variable named lowercaseString.
+  - Convert the string to all uppercase letters using toUpperCase and assign the result to a variable named uppercaseString.
+  - Remove the extra spaces from the beginning and end of the string using trim and assign the result to a variable named trimmedString.
+  - Replace the word "JavaScript" with "coding" using replace and assign the result to a variable named replacedString.
+
+3. Breaking Apart
+  - Split the string into an array of words using split with a space (" ") as the delimiter and assign the result to a variable named wordsArray.
+
+4. Retrieving
+  - Retrieve the first character of the trimmed string using charAt and assign the result to a variable named firstCharacter.
+  - Extract the word "Bootcamp" from the string using slice and assign the result to a variable named extractedBootcamp.
