Thanks again for all replies as it has helped me to wrap my head around
some of the problems that I've experienced.

Say we wanted to write our own replace method and not use the replace
method provided by the String class?  So we want to write a method that
takes a string object and modifies/mutates that same object and then
returns it, without creating a copy of that object.
