Hi guys.
I'm strugglin with some homework stuff and am hoping you can help me
out here.
This is the code:
small_words = ('into', 'the', 'a', 'of', 'at', 'in', 'for', 'on')
def book_title(title):
""" Takes a string and returns a title-case string.
All words EXCEPT for small words are made title case
unless the string starts with a preposition, in which
case the word is correctly capitalized.
>>> book_title('DIVE Into python')
'Dive into Python'
>>> book_title('the great gatsby')
'The Great Gatsby'
>>> book_title('the WORKS OF AleXANDer dumas')
'The Works of Alexander Dumas'
"""
new_title = []
title_split = title.strip().lower().split()
for word in title_split:
if title_split[0] in small_words:
new_title.append(word.title())
elif word in small_words:
new_title.append(word.lower())
else:
new_title.append(word.title())
return(' '.join(new_title))
def _test():
import doctest, refactory
return doctest.testmod(refactory)
if __name__ == "__main__":
_test()
All tests are failing even though I am getting the correct output on
the first two tests. And the last test still gives me "Of" instead of
"of"
Any help is appreciated.
Rgds
