void setup() {

  String s4 = "string number four";  // s4 holds "string number four" 
  Serial.println("s4 holds: " + s4);

  s6.setCharAt(15, 'N');  // set character at index 15 to 'N' 
  Serial.println("s6 is: "+s6);  // prints "string NUMBER oNe" 
  
  if(s6.startsWith("string"))  // check if s6 starts with "string" 
    Serial.println("s6 starts with \"string\""); // s6 starts with "string" string 
    
  Serial.println("s6 to lower case is: "+s6.toLowerCase());  // prints "string number one" 
  
  Serial.println("s6 to upper case is: "+s6.toUpperCase());  // prints "STRING NUMBER ONE" 
  
  s6.concat(" plus spaces at the end   ");  // concat a string 
  Serial.println("s6 is: "+s6);  // prints "string NUMBER oNe plus spaces at the end   " 
  
  Serial.println("trim of s6 is: "+s6.trim());  // prints "string NUMBER oNe plus spaces at the end" 
 
  Serial.println("s6 is: "+s6.replace('e', '5'));  // prints "string NUMBER oN5 plus spac5s at th5 5nd" 
  
  const char *str = s6.toCharArray();  // get the char array 
  Serial.print("str is: ");
