How do I make names NOT case sensitive?

For example, if first_name == "Emily": print(first_name, "is using Python") print("have a great day {}!". format(first_name))

I want it to print "emily is using Python" and not just "Emily is using Python"

This is not a situation where the term "case sensitive" would apply. That would be for a situation where the name was being compared to something.

But if you want to convert a string to all lower case, just call the "lower" method on it. So instead of "first_name" you would write "first_name.lower()"
