Solution Exercise 44: python program to find the capitalized word in given string text

Exercise 44

Write a python program as function which groups in a list all the words which begin with a capital letter in a given string s.
Example for s = "Python is a high level programming language. Originally developed by Guido van Rossum in 1989." The program should return the list: ["Python", "Originally", "Guido", "Rossum"]

Solution

def extract_capitalized_words(s):
    words = s.split()  # split the string into words
    capitalized_words = []
    for word in words:
        if word[0].isupper():  # check if the first character of the word is uppercase
            capitalized_words.append(word)
    return capitalized_words

# Example usage
s = "Python is a high level programming language. Originally developed by Guido van Rossum in 1989."
capitalized_words = extract_capitalized_words(s)
print(capitalized_words)
"""
Output:
['Python', 'Originally', 'Guido', 'Rossum']
"""

In this program:

1. We use tsplit() method: to convert the string s into words using.
2. And then iterates: over each word in the list of words and checks if the first character of the word is uppercase using the isupper() method.
3. If the first character of the word is uppercase: we add the word to the list
4. Finally: the program returns the list of capitalized words.
