Extract first character of each word from a text and capitalize it with a function and return method

Question

def initials(text): result=bla bla bla return result

main

text=input("Please enter your text") initials(text)

Answer 1

So here is the list of tasks we will do:

Split the sentence into a list of words - step 1
Get the first letter from each word in upper case - step 2
Join them in this format: {letter}. {another-letter} - step 3
Return the value and print it - step 4

I've marked each step in the code comments
So lets go:

my_word = "stack overflow" # < Change this to any word you'd like
def get_initials(input_word):
  result = input_word.split() # step - 1
  final_result = ""
  for word in result: # loop through our word list
    first_letter = word[0].upper() # step - 2 
    final_result += first_letter + '. ' # step - 3, join
    '''
    So basically get the first letter with word[0]
    and add it to the final_result variable using +=
    and also add an additional ". "(a dot with a space)
    each time, as per requirements
    '''

  return final_result # step - 4, return

print ( get_initials(my_word) ) # and finally step - 4, print

Hope this helped :)
