Capitalizes the first letter of a string.
|
|
|
|
Capitalize the first letter of the string and then add it with rest of the string.
|
|
Omit the `lower_rest` parameter to keep the rest of the string intact, or set it to `True` to convert to lowercase.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
def capitalize(string, lower_rest=False):
|
|
return string[:1].upper() + (string[1:].lower() if lower_rest else string[1:])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
capitalize('fooBar') # 'FooBar'
|
|
capitalize('fooBar', True) # 'Foobar'
|
|
``` |
