Solution Exercise 47: program python that determines the list of all the word with at least on upercase

Exercise 47

Write a python program that determines the list of all the words which contains at least one uppercase character in a given text T. Example if T = "Python is a high level programming language. Originally developed by Guido van Rossum in 1989." The program returns the list:

['Python', 'Originally', 'Guido', 'Rossum']

Solution

# creating a function which test if given word contains at least one uppercase character
def testUpercase(s):
    # initializing counter
    counter = 0
    for letter in s:
        if letter.isupper():
            counter = counter + 1
    if counter > 0:
        return True
    else:
        return False

T = "Python is  a high level programming language. Originally developed by Guido van Rossum in 1989."

# initializing the list of all the words which contains at least one uppercase character
listUpper = []

# transform the text T to a list
L = T.split()

for word in L:
    if(testUpercase(word)):
        listUpper.append(word)

# display the list         
print(listUpper)
# The output is : ['Python', 'Originally', 'Guido', 'Rossum']
