Python title function example

Simple example code capitalized the first character of each word of a given sentence (if the first character is a letter).

print(text.title())

text = 'Hello robot 700'
print(text.title())

Python title function

Another example makes the first letter in each word upper case:

txt = "hello a23b12 and 7d7ea"

res = txt.title()

print(res)

Output: Hello A23B12 And 7D7Ea

Keep in mind that the title() function works based on whitespace, so it considers words separated by spaces. If you have non-alphabetic characters or special cases, you might need to handle those separately.
