The following is my effort to understand how to process a string, letter, by
letter:
def myfunc(name): index = 0 howmax = len(name) # while (index <=
howmax): while (index < howmax): if (index % 2 == 0):
print('letter to upper = {}, index {}!'.format(name[index], index))
name = name[index].upper() print('if block {} and index
{}'.format(name[index], index)) elif (index % 2 > 0):
print(index) print('Start: elseif block, index is {}, letter is
{}'.format(index, name)) # print('letter to lower =
{}'.format(name[index])) # print('Already lowercase do noting: name
= {}'.format(name[index])) index += 1 # index = name.upper()
return name
myfunc('capitalism')
Error message: Not making sense, index is 1, letter s/b
'a'letter to upper = c, index 0!
if block C and index 0
1
Start: elseif block, index is 1, letter is C
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

index))
9 name = name[index].upper()
10 print('if block {} and index {}'.format(name[index], index))
IndexError: string index out of

So, I'm doing something... Stupid!!
