Parsing a string A string is a sequential object that has zero, one or many characters. This lab asks you to ask the user for a string and then count the number of digits in the string.

NOTE: You must do this with a WHILE loop, not a FOR.

How can you tell if a character is a digit? If you have a string variable named str, you. can make a Boolean expression that will be True by doing this: str. isdigit() So if I code: str="spam" then str. isdigit() will be False But if I code: str =. "1984" then str. isdigit() will evaluate to True.

The strings will have digits and non-digits mixed. You must look at each character of the string by itself. You do this by indexing the string. If i is an index variable, then str[i] will give you the character at the i-th position in the string (remembering that it is indexed from zero).
