Decapitalize string
Decapitalizes the first letter of a string.
- Use list slicing and
str.lower()
to decapitalize the first letter of the string. - Use
str.join()
to combine the lowercase first letter with the rest of the characters. - Omit the
upper_rest
parameter to keep the rest of the string intact, or set it toTrue
to convert to uppercase.
def decapitalize(s, upper_rest = False): return ''.join([s[:1].lower(), (s[1:].upper() if upper_rest else s[1:])]) decapitalize('FooBar') # 'fooBar' decapitalize('FooBar', True) # 'fOOBAR'
