Lab Assignment #12 - Still More Work with Strings

Due Monday, October 23, 2023

We have just some string methods, a special type of function that can "owned" by a string. The ones that we learned about are:

• s.isalpha() - Returns True if all the characters in s are letters.
• s.isdigit() - Returns True if all the characters in s are digits.
• s.isupper() - Returns True if all the letters in s are capital letters.
• s.islower() - Returns True if all the letters in s are lower-case letters.
• s.istitle() - Returns True if the first letter of every word is capitalized and every other letter is lower case.
• s.upper() - Returns a string with s’s contents in upper case.
• s.lower() - Returns a string with s’s contents in lower case.
• s.swapcase() - Returns a string with s’s contents in converted from upper to lower case, and from lower to upper case.
• s.capitalize() - Returns a string with s’s letters in lower case, except for the first character if it is a letter.
• s.title() – Returns a string with the first letter in s’s words in upper case, the rest in lower case.

Given
s = "It is imperative that we do that which is right"
t = "THE YANKEES STINK!!!"
u = "The Taming of the Shrew"
v = "3.14159"


Evaluate

1. s.isalpha()
2. u = u.lower()
3. s.isdigit()
4. u = u.swapcase()
5. s.istitle()
6. t = t.lower()
7. s.islower()
8. u = u.capitalize()
9. t.isupper()
10. t = t.title()
11. t.isalpha()
12. u.istitle()
