the String methods are accessor method. All of the String methods
are return methods.

The String length() method returns the character count.
length() looks at the String Object and returns back the number
of characters contained.
compsci contains 7 characters so a call to length() would
return 7.

Return methods typically perform some action then send back
a value. Return methods are also used as get methods to
retrieve a value from an Object.

The String indexOf() method looks for a value and returns the
spot at which that value is stored. If the value provided is not
present in the String, -1 is returned. -1 would not be a valid spot in
the String which is why -1 was chosen as the return value when a
value is not found.
