 | `round(x,digits)` | Rounds the first argument to the given number of digits | `round(3.1415, 3)` returns `3.142` |
-| `toupper(str)`  | Returns the characters in lowercase  | `toupper("hi there")` returns `"HI THERE"` |

 | `nchar(str)` | Counts the number of characters in a string | `nchar("hi there")` returns `8` (space is a character!) |
