The following is my effort to understand how to process a string, letter, by letter:
def myfunc(name): index = 0 howmax = len(name) # while (index <= howmax): while (index < howmax): if (index % 2 == 0): print('letter to upper = {}, index {}!'.format(name[index], index))
name = name[index].upper() print('if block {} and index {}'.format(name[index], index)) elif (index % 2 > 0): print(index) print('Start: elseif block, index is {}, letter is {}'.format(
index, name)) # print('letter to lower = {}'.format(name[index])) # print('Already lowercase do noting: name = {}'.format(name[index])) index += 1 # index = name.upper()
return name
myfunc('capitalism')
Error message: Not making sense, index is 1, letter s/b 'a'letter to upper = c, index 0!
if block C and index 0
1
Start: elseif block, index is 1, letter is C --------------------------------------------------------------------------- IndexError Traceback (most recent call last) Cell In[27], line 21
17 # index = name.upper()
19 return name

Cell In[27], line 8, in myfunc(name)

7 if (index % 2 == 0):

9 name = name[index].upper()
10 print('if block {} and index {}'.format(name[index], index))
IndexError: string index out of range***************************************************
So, I'm doing something... Stupid!! ***************************************************
