Python Exercises: Capitalize the first letter and lowercases the rest
Capitalize first letter of words.
Write a Python program that capitalizes the first letter and lowercases the remaining letters in a given string.
Sample Data:
(“Red Green WHITE) -> “Red Green White”
(“w3resource”) -> “W3resource”
(“dow jones industrial average”) -> “Dow Jones Industrial Average”
Sample Solution-1:
Python Code:
# Define a function to capitalize the first letter and lowercase the rest of each word in a string
def test(strs):
# Use a generator expression to capitalize each word and join them with spaces
return ' '.join(word.capitalize() for word in strs.split())
# Initialize a string with words in various cases
text = "Red Green WHITE"
print("Original string:", text)
# Print a message indicating the capitalization of the first letter in each word
print("Capitalize the first letter and lowercases the rest:")
# Call the function to capitalize words and print the result
print(test(text))
# Repeat the process with a different string
text = "w3resource"
print("\nOriginal string:", text)
# Print a message indicating the capitalization of the first letter in each word
print("Capitalize the first letter and lowercases the rest:")
# Call the function to capitalize words and print the result
print(test(text))
# Repeat the process with another different string
text = "dow jones industrial average"
print("\nOriginal string:", text)
# Print a message indicating the capitalization of the first letter in each word
print("Capitalize the first letter and lowercases the rest:")
# Call the function to capitalize words and print the result
print(test(text))
Sample Output:
Original string: Red Green WHITE Capitalize the first letter and lowercases the rest: Red Green White Original string: w3resource Capitalize the first letter and lowercases the rest: W3resource Original string: dow jones industrial average Capitalize the first letter and lowercases the rest: Dow Jones Industrial Average

Sample Solution-2:
Python Code:
# Define a function to capitalize the first letter and lowercase the rest of each word in a string
def test(strs):
# Use a generator expression to capitalize the first letter and lowercase the rest of each word
return ' '.join(i[0].upper() + i[1:].lower() for i in strs.split())
# Initialize a string with words in various cases
text = "Red Green WHITE"
print("Original string:", text)
# Print a message indicating the capitalization of the first letter in each word
print("Capitalize the first letter and lowercases the rest:")
# Call the function to capitalize words and print the result
print(test(text))
# Repeat the process with a different string
text = "w3resource"
print("\nOriginal string:", text)
# Print a message indicating the capitalization of the first letter in each word
print("Capitalize the first letter and lowercases the rest:")
# Call the function to capitalize words and print the result
print(test(text))
# Repeat the process with another different string
text = "dow jones industrial average"
print("\nOriginal string:", text)
# Print a message indicating the capitalization of the first letter in each word
print("Capitalize the first letter and lowercases the rest:")
# Call the function to capitalize words and print the result
print(test(text))
Sample Output:
Original string: Red Green WHITE Capitalize the first letter and lowercases the rest: Red Green White Original string: w3resource Capitalize the first letter and lowercases the rest: W3resource Original string: dow jones industrial average Capitalize the first letter and lowercases the rest: Dow Jones Industrial Average
