#We've started a recursive function below called

#measure$\_$string that should take in one string parameter,

#myStr$,$ and returns its length. However, you may not use

#Python's built$-$in len function.

#

#Finish our code. We are missing the base case and the

#recursive call.

#

#HINT: Often when we have recursion involving strings, we

#want to break down the string to be in its simplest form.

#Think about how you could splice a string little by little.

#Then think about what your base case might be $-$ what is

#the most basic, minimal string you can have in python?

#

#Hint $2$: How can you establish the base case has been

#reached without the len$()$ function?
