The capitalize method

The capitalize method returns a string with the first character in uppercase, while all other characters will be lowercase.

Syntax

string.capitalize()

Example

Let's apply the capitalize method to the following line:

txt = 'abcde' print(txt.capitalize())

Result of code execution:

'Abcde'

Example

Let's compare the application of the capitalize method and the title method:

txt = 'abc def' print(txt.capitalize()) print(txt.title())

Result of code execution:
