Here we use different python inbuilt function. First we use split().split the words into a list. Then traverse till the second last word and upper() function is used for print first character in capital and then add the last word which is title of a name and here we use title(),title function converts the first alphabet to capital.
Example
Input Pradip Chandra Sarkar Output P.C Sarkar
Algorithm
fullname(str1) /* str1 is a string */ Step 1: first we split the string into a list. Step 2: newspace is initialized by a space(“”) Step 3: then traverse the list till the second last word. Step 4: then adds the capital first character using the upper function. Step 5: then get the last item of the list.
Example Code
# python program to print initials of a name def fullname(str1): # split the string into a list lst = str1.split() newspace = "" # traverse in the list for i in range(len(lst)-1): str1 = lst[i] # adds the capital first character newspace += (str1[0].upper()+'.') # l[-1] gives last item of list l. newspace += lst[-1].title() return newspace # Driver code str1=input("Enter Full Name ::>") print("Short Form of Name Is ::>",fullname(str1))
Output
Enter Full Name ::>pradip chandra sarkar Short Form of Name Is ::> P.C.Sarkar
