Call Member Function of a Variable
Some Data Types have member functions. Member functions are functions that are acted upon the variable of Data Type.
Example:
- Data Type of String has a member function length. Which returns the number of characters in a String variable.
- Variable student_name of type String
- student_name . length will return the number of characters in student_name
