In this tutorial, we are going to learn about capitalize method of strings. Let's dive into the tutorial.
The method capitalize will make the first letter of the string to capital. If the first letter is nonalphabet or capital letter, then there won't be any effect.
Follow the below steps to write the program.
- Initialize a string.
- Use the capitalize method to convert the first letter of string to a capital.
- Store the result in a new variable.
- Print the result.
Example
# initializing the string string = "tutorialspoint" # capitalizing the first letter result = string.capitalize() # printing the result print(result)
Output
If you run the above code, then you will get the following result.
Tutorialspoint
Now, change the first letter of the string in the previous example to capital. And run it again.
Example
# initializing the string string = "Tutorialspoint" # capitalizing the first letter result = string.capitalize() # printing the result print(result)
Output
If you run the above code, then you will get the following result.
Tutorialspoint
Add a non-alphabet as the first letter of the string in the previous example. And run it.
Example
# initializing the string string = "tutorialspoint" # capitalizing the first letter result = string.capitalize() # printing the result print(result) tutorialspoint
Output
If you run the above code, then you will get the following result.
tutorialspoint
What happens if you have multiple words and multiple lines in a string? The capitalize method will make only the first letter of string to capital.
Run the following code and see it.
Example
# initializing the string string = "tutorialspoint is great website to learn new things. and it's free" # capitalizing the first letter result = string.capitalize() # printing the result print(result)
Output
If you run the above code, then you will get the following result.
Tutorialspoint is great website to learn new things. and it's free
