I was practicing with this tiny program with the hopes to capitalize the first letter of each word in: john Smith. I wanted to capitalize the j in john so I would have an end result of John Smith and this is the code I used:
name = "john Smith" if (name[0].islower()): name = name.capitalize() print(name)
Though, capitalizing the first letter caused an output of: John smith where the S was converted to a lowercase. How can I capitalize the letter j without messing with the rest of the name?
I thank you all for your time and future responses! I appreciate it very much!!!

As @j1-lee pointed out, what you are looking for is the title
method, which will capitalize each word (as opposed to capitalize
, which will capitalize only the first word, as if it was a sentence).
So your code becomes
name = "john smith" name = name.title() print(name) #> John Smith
