Bear in mind that memorizing these methods is not necessary. Despite the names being very intuitive, a short googling will lead you to the method you actually need. This small table is just a fraction of the useful methods to demonstrate what is possible with a single line of Python code.
Note that string does not have contains() method as there is already an in keyword present which checks if one string is contained in another.
Challenge

The input contains a single line of text which needs to be analyzed.
The program should print a single line with 3 numbers - the number of uppercase letters, the number of lowercase letters, and the number of space letters.
