var = '0123456789'
#The len() function returns the overall length of a string, aka how many values does it hold
#EXAMPLE
print(f'the var varialbe goes from 0 to 9, thus it is {len(var)} values long.')
#you can also use it to slice from x to the end, if you put it in the 2nd slot of the string slicing formula (start:end:stepover)
print(f'\nthis is an example of using the len() function to print a string from X to the end of it. \nlen() is positioned in the 2nd slice slot, causing the output to be {var[0:len(var)]}')
