HackerRank Python Solution - Strings - Capitalize!

• You are asked to ensure that the first and last names of people begin with a capital letter in their passports. For example, alison heck should be capitalized correctly as Alison Heck.

• Given a full name, your task is to capitalize the name appropriately.

Input Format:

• A single line of input containing the full name, S.

Constraints:

• 0 < len(S) < 1000
• The string consists of alphanumeric characters and spaces.
• Note: in a word only the first character is capitalized. Example 12abc when capitalized remains 12abc.

Output Format:

• Print the capitalized string, S.

Sample Input:

chris alan

Sample Output:

Chris Alan

Solution:

def solve(s):
    a_string = s.split(' ')
    return (' '.join((word.capitalize() for word in a_string)))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    fptr = open(os.environ['OUTPUT_PATH'], 'w')

    s = input()

    result = solve(s)

    fptr.write(result + '\n')

    fptr.close()
