Lab 6 - An Acronym Generator

The document provides instructions for writing a Python program to take a string from the user and output the acronym by capitalizing the first letter of each word. It outlines 8 steps to prompt the user, initialize an accumulator string, split the input into a list, iterate over the list to concatenate the first letters, convert to uppercase, and define a function to call. The student is asked to write the function and include it in a module to turn in.
