Question

I am wondering how to uppercase every other word in a string. For example, i want to change “Here is my dog” to “Here IS my DOG”
Can anyone help me get it started? All i can find is how to capitalize the first letter in each word.

Answer 1

It’s not the most compact function but this would do the trick.

string = "Here is my dog"

def alternateUppercase(s):
    i = 0
    a = s.split(' ')
    l = []
    for w in a:
        if i:
            l.append(w.upper())
        else:
            l.append(w)
        i = int(not i)
    return " ".join(l)

print alternateUppercase(string)
