not including y
substring(x) returns a section of the string from x to
length-1
charAt(x) returns the char at spot x
length() returns the # of chars

Return methods perform some action
and return a result back.
.length() is a return method.

String s = "compsci";
int len = s.length();
System.out.println( len );

length() returns an integer back to the calling location.


The value returned is then assigned to variable len.
