You can find out how many characters there are in a string by using the length property of a string:

var name = "Daniel";
var nameLength = name.length;

console.log(nameLength); // Logs 6

You can also get a modified version of a string by calling string methods. Let's try one:

var name = "Daniel";
var nameLowerCase = name.toLowerCase();

console.log(nameLowerCase); // "daniel"

You can find out more about string properties and methods by searching for "JavaScript string methods".
