Very readable.

NANI!??

You're already alive. :-))

Wow, short and smart

You ain't seen nothing yet. :-)

return text.capitalize() will give the same result =. =

If the text contains only lowercase letters, yes. Otherwise, not necessarily. Try it with "welcome to New York". ;-)

Damn! Got it.

Short and clear solution

Did you use capitalize() instead of upper() in order to show that capitalize() lowers all symbols except for the first one?

veky on July 17, 2019, 2:47 p.m.
Nothing that fancy. The mission says "starts with a capital letter", I just went with it. But in fact, .title() would probably be better if you really want to cover most cases with least effort. ;-)

Is this PEP8 conform?

veky on Sept. 3, 2019, 8:20 a.m.
Not that it matters for anything (I don't intend to put this function into Python standard library:), but I don't see why not. The only reason I can think of is <blockquote> Compound statements (multiple statements on the same line) are generally discouraged. </blockquote> But right afterwards it says <blockquote> sometimes it's okay to put an if/for/while with a small body on the same line </blockquote> I'd say `text += '.'` is a small body. :-D

This solution is highly readable ... I guess you were ill this 24th February 2018 :D

veky on Sept. 18, 2019, 2:03 p.m.
You did see the title, right? :-P

bsquare on Sept. 18, 2019, 2:42 p.m.
Right! So .. you WERE ill! What the heck ... Veky and 'Politically correct'? No, no, no ... not possible :D

veky on Sept. 18, 2019, 2:43 p.m.
You can't always understand the whole context coming to the scene a year and a half later. :-P

bsquare on Sept. 18, 2019, 2:47 p.m.
Yeah, true ... I come after the battle, I'm afraid :o

veky on Sept. 18, 2019, 2:49 p.m.
There'll be more battles, I'm sure. :-] I'm even sure you'll be responsible for some of them. :-P

I see most people use "upper" for this one. Good to see a different solution.

veky on Jan. 13, 2020, 10:58 p.m.
Theoretically, a capital letter is not the same as the uppercase one.

bk92 on Sept. 1, 2020, 10:13 p.m.
Looks great!

Ahh text.endswith is so much more readable than text[-1]!

veky on Oct. 19, 2020, 3:12 p.m.
That's main reason why it exists. :-)
