Python program to extract uppercase letters

Python Filter: Exercise-2 with Solution

Write a Python program that uses the filter function to extract all uppercase letters from a list of mixed-case strings.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Define a list of mixed-case strings
mixed_case_strings = ["Hello", "w3resource", "Python", "Filter", "Learning"]

print("Original list of strings:\n",mixed_case_strings)
# Use the filter function to extract uppercase letters
uppercase_letters = list(filter(lambda char: char.isupper(), ''.join(mixed_case_strings)))

print("\nExtract all uppercase letters from the said list of mixed-case strings:")
# Print the extracted uppercase letters
print(uppercase_letters)

Explanation:

In the exercise above,

• First, start with a list of mixed-case strings named mixed_case_strings.
• Next, we use the filter function to filter characters from all strings and retain only uppercase letters. We do this by using a lambda function that checks if a character is uppercase using the isupper() method.
• The filter function returns an iterable of uppercase letters, which we convert to a list.
• Finally, we print the extracted uppercase letters.

Sample Output:

Original list of strings:
 ['Hello', 'w3resource', 'Python', 'Filter', 'Learning']

Extract all uppercase letters from the said list of mixed-case strings:
['H', 'P', 'F', 'L']
