title()

my_str='welcome to plus2net python section'
output=my_str.title()
print(output)

my_str='welcome #id 15of  plus2net'
output=my_str.title()
print(output)

Welcome To Plus2Net Python Section
Welcome #Id 15Of  Plus2Net

Handling Mixed Cases

What happens when the string is already in mixed case? title() still ensures that only the first letter of each word is capitalized:

my_str = 'pYTHON tUTORIAL'
output = my_str.title()
print(output)  # Output: 'Python Tutorial'

Use Case: Formatting Names

This is useful when you want to format names or titles in proper case for user-facing applications:

full_name = 'john doe'
formatted_name = full_name.title()
print(formatted_name)  # Output: 'John Doe'

Handling Special Characters

When a word contains special characters, only the letter after the special character will be capitalized:

my_str = "welcome to plus2net's python"
print(my_str.title())  # Output: "Welcome To Plus2Net'S Python"

Use Case: Formatting Book Titles

It's useful for standardizing book or article titles in publishing applications:

book_title = "harry potter and the goblet of fire"
print(book_title.title())  # Output: "Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire"

Difference with capitalize()

While title() capitalizes each word, capitalize() affects only the first word:

text = "hello world"
print(text.capitalize())  # Output: "Hello world"
