Python capitalize

by

Python capitalize is one of the Python String Function which is used to convert the first character into Uppercase and remaining characters to Lowercase and return new string. In this section, we discuss how to write capitalize Function in Python Programming with example.

The capitalize Function will keep the Non-letters unchanged. The syntax of the Python capitalize function is as shown below:

String_Value.capitalize()

String_Value: Please select the valid String variable or you can use the String directly.

Python capitalize method Example

The following set of examples help you understand the capitalize Function in Python.

# Python Capitalize Method Example

Str1 = 'learn PYTHON AT tutOrial gateWay'

Str2 = Str1.capitalize()
print('First Output after Capitalize() method is = ', Str2)

# Observe the Original String
print('Converted String is = ', Str1.capitalize())
print('Original String is = ', Str1)

# Performing Capitalize() function directly
Str3 = 'pYTHON proGramminG'.capitalize()
print('Second Output after Capitalize() method is = ', Str3)

Str4 = 'pyTHon 1234 tuTorIal'.capitalize()
print('Third Output after Capitalize() method is = ', Str4)

Str5 = '12345'.capitalize()
print('Fourth Output after Capitalize() method is = ', Str5)

OUTPUT

Python Capitalize

ANALYSIS

First, we declared the String variable Str1 and assigned corresponding value using following statement.

Str1 = 'learn PYTHON AT tutOrial gateWay'

Following statement will convert the above string into capitalize case using capitalize function and prints the output.

Str2 = Str1.capitalize()
print('First Output after Capitalize() method is = ', Str2)

The Python Capitalize() function will return the output in new string, instead of alter the original string.

print('Converted String is = ', Str1.capitalize())
print('Original String is = ', Str1)

From the above screenshot you can observe that, the original string Str1 is unchanged. If you want to change the original String then, you can write the following statement.

Str1 = Str1.capitalize()

The capitalize function only convert the First letter into Uppercase and convert following words into lowercase but it leave other values unchanged. Within the following statements we used the numeric values along with letters and you can see the output for further reference.

Str4 = 'pyTHon 1234 tuTorIal'.capitalize()
print('Third Output after Capitalize() method is = ', Str4)

Str5 = '12345'.capitalize()
print('Fourth Output after Capitalize() method is = ', Str5)
