The title() function in python is used to convert the first character in each word to an uppercase and remaining characters to Lowercase in the string and returns a new string.
Python String title()
Python title() is a built-in string handling function that returns a string in which the first letter of the words present in the string is uppercase, and all the other letters of the word are lowercase. If the string contains symbols and numbers, then the 1st number after it is converted to uppercase. We also call the words that have the first letter as uppercase and all other letters as lowercase title cased.
Syntax
string.title()
Here, the string is a variable that is converted to be title-cased.
Parameters
The title() method doesn’t take any parameter and throws an error if any parameter is passed. It is used with a string using a dot operator, and the output string is shown.
Return Value
The method returns a string in which the characters of the words are title-cased.
Example programs on the title() method
Write a program to show the working of the title() method.
// app.py
h1 = "helLo BoYYSSS ANDD gIRLS"
h2 = "I am A BARCA FAN!"
h3 = "I lOvE StRaNgEr ThInGs"
h4 = "I loVe LeaRNinG fRoM aPpDivIdeNd"
h5 = "I lOvE PyThOn"
print("Original string: ", h1)
print("title(): ", h1.title(), "\n")
print("Original string: ", h2)
print("title(): ", h2.title(), "\n")
print("Original string: ", h3)
print("title(): ", h3.title(), "\n")
print("Original string: ", h4)
print("title(): ", h4.title(), "\n")
print("Original string: ", h5)
print("title(): ", h5.title(), "\n")
Output
➜ pyt python3 app.py Original string: helLo BoYYSSS ANDD gIRLS title(): Hello Boyysss Andd Girls Original string: I am A BARCA FAN! title(): I Am A Barca Fan!

Example 2: Write a program to print two users’ inputted strings using the title().
See the following code.
# app.py
for i in range(0, 2):
print("Enter the string: ")
h = input()
print("Original String: ", h)
print("title(): ", h.title(), "\n")
