Output

string: Hello
string.lowercased(): hello
string.uppercased(): HELLO
find(string, "e"): 1
string.count: 5
string.replacingOccurrences(of:"H", with:"j"): jello
string.reversed(): olleH
substring(2, 2): ll
string.trimmingCharacters("H"): ello
Bob earned $123.46

Files

 // This program creates a file, adds data to the file, displays the file,
 // appends more data to the file, displays the file, and then deletes the file.
 // It will not run if the file already exists.
