Building on your knowledge of string methods, you will now put your skills to the test by cleaning and standardizing raw user input. This is a common task in real-world data processing, where data often comes in messy or inconsistent formats. Your goal is to ensure that the input is tidy, consistent, and ready for further processing by applying a series of string transformations.
