Upper case first letter of each word in a phrase

Question

Ok, I\'m trying to figure out how to make a inputed phrase such as this in python ....

Self contained underwater breathing apparatus

output

Answer 1

Here's the quickest way to get it done

input = "Self contained underwater breathing apparatus"
output = ""
for i in input.upper().split():
    output += i[0]

Answer 2

This is the pythonic way to do it:

output = "".join(item[0].upper() for item in input.split())
# SCUBA

There you go. Short and easy to understand.

LE: If you have other delimiters than space, you can split by words, like this:

import re
input = "self-contained underwater breathing apparatus"
output = "".join(item[0].upper() for item in re.findall("\w+", input))
# SCUBA

Answer 3

Another way which may be more easy for total beginners to apprehend:

acronym = input('Please give what names you want acronymized: ')
acro = acronym.split() #acro is now a list of each word
for word in acro:
    print(word[0].upper(),end='') #prints out the acronym, end='' is for obstructing capitalized word to be stacked one below the other
print() #gives a line between answer and next command line's return

Answer 4

Another way

input = 'Self contained underwater breathing apparatus'

output = ''.join(item[0].capitalize() for item in input.split())

Answer 5

Some list comprehension love:

 "".join([word[0].upper() for word in sentence.split()])

Answer 6

#here is my trial, brief and potent!
str = 'Self contained underwater breathing apparatus'
reduce(lambda x,y: x+y[0].upper(),str.split(),'')
#=> SCUBA
