— procedure: string-length string

Returns the length of string as an exact non-negative integer.

          (string-length "")                0
          (string-length "The length")      10

— procedure: string-null? string

Returns #t if string has zero length; otherwise returns #f.

          (string-null? "")                 #t
          (string-null? "Hi")               #f

— procedure: string-ref string k

Returns character k of string. K must be a valid index of string.

          (string-ref "Hello" 1)            #\e
          (string-ref "Hello" 5)          error--> 5 not in correct range

— procedure: string-set! string k char

Stores char in element k of string and returns an unspecified value. K must be a valid index of string, and char must satisfy the predicate char-ascii?.

          (define str "Dog")                unspecified
          (string-set! str 0 #\L)           unspecified
          str                               "Log"
          (string-set! str 3 #\t)         error--> 3 not in correct range
