Another alternating-case in-a-string in Python 3.+

Question

I\'m very new to Python and am trying to understand how to manipulate strings.

What I want to do is change a string by removing the spaces and alternating the case from

Answer 1

So your 2nd loop is where you're breaking it, because the original list isn't being shortened, the c=nospace[:1] grabs the first character of the string and that's the only character that's ever printed. So a solution would be as follows.

string1 = str(input("Ask user for something."))

nospace = ''.join(string1.split(' '))

for i in range(0, len(nospace)):
    if i % 2 == 0:
        print(nospace[i].upper(), end="")
    else:
        print(nospace[i].lower(), end="")

Could also replace the if/else statement with a ternary opperator.

for i in range(0, len(nospace)):
    print(nospace[i].upper() if (i % 2 == 0) else nospace[i].lower(), end='')

Final way using enumerate as commented about

for i, c in enumerate(nospace):
    print(c.upper() if (i % 2 == 0) else c.lower(), end='')
