The "list(text)" part, with the ".".join add complexity and computing time to the function. You don't need to convert the string : just add the "." if needed, and do the .upper(). Here is an example which run faster : <pre class='brush: python'>def correct_sentence(text): t = text[0].upper() if text[-1] != ".": text += "." return t+text[1:] </pre>

This works well but would it be faster if it were left as a string and then use concatenation and slicing?
