Ruby: Titleize: How do I ignore smaller words like 'and', 'the', 'or, etc

Question

def titleize(string)
  string.split(\" \").map {|word| word.capitalize}.join(\" \")
end

This titleizes every single word, but how do I capture cert

Answer 1

If you want not to capitalize and or the, just do the following:

def titleize(string)
  nocaps = "and"
  string.split(" ").map { |word| nocaps.include?(word) ? word : word.capitalize }.join(" ")
end
