Python string Method - capitalize()
The capitalize()
method in Python strings returns a copy of the string with the first character capitalized and the rest of the characters in lowercase.
The syntax for the capitalize()
method is as follows:
string.capitalize()
Here, string
is the string that we want to capitalize.
Example:
# Defining a string my_string = "hello, world!" # Using the capitalize() method result_string = my_string.capitalize() print(result_string) # Output: "Hello, world!"
In the above example, the capitalize()
method is used to capitalize the first character of the string my_string
. Since the first character is 'h'
, it is capitalized to 'H'
. The rest of the characters are in lowercase. The resulting string is stored in result_string
and printed using the print()
function. Note that the original string my_string
is not modified by the capitalize()
method, since strings in Python are immutable.
