# Working with Strings

Python provides a rich set of string methods for manipulating text: `strip()`, `split()`, `replace()`, `upper()`, `lower()`, `startswith()`, `endswith()`, and many more. These methods are applied directly to strings or through Pandas' `.str` accessor for vectorized text cleaning on entire columns.
