Upper will convert all the lower case characters into upper case character.

Title will convert the first character of a word into upper case and rest will be in lower case.

example:-

6.COUNT( )

We can count the number of characters where a substring is present inside a string. count has a benefit of adding starting index & ending index

example:-

7.REPLACE( )

We can replace a substring with another substring

example:-

8.INDEX( )

Index method is used to return the location of a substring occuring in the first occurrence of a string.

example:-

Find method is also used to return the location of a substring occuring in the first occurance of a string.but the difference is it will give the output value as -1,when the substring does not exist.
