			FUNCTION: String.isEmpty String.isEmpty(string) The String.isEmpty function tests the length of a given string to determine if it is empty and returns a boolean value. If the string has zero length, true is returned. if the string has a length greater than zero, false is returned. Note that you can use the String.length function to find the numeric length of a string. The mandatory string parameter can be any string containing zero or more of any combination of characters (including white spaces). This parameter can also be an empty string.
