How can I capitalize the first letter of each word in a string?

Question

s = \'the brown fox\'

...do something here...

s should be:

\'The Brown Fox\'

What\'s the easiest

Answer 1

An empty string will raise an error if you access [1:]. Therefore I would use:

def my_uppercase(title):
    if not title:
       return ''
    return title[0].upper() + title[1:]

to uppercase the first letter only.
