swapcase(), capitalize() & isdigit() Function in Python

Python has wide range of function for string handling. some functions for string handling are swapcase() function which converts the all the uppercase to lowercase and viceversa. capitalize() function which converts the first character of entire string to the uppercase and the remaining characters will remain in lowercase. isdigit() function which returns True if a string has only numeric digits. if not it will return false.

swapcase(), capitalize() & isdigit() Function in Python:

• swapcase() function in python converts the string from lowercase to uppercase and vice versa
• capitalize() function in python converts first character of the string  to uppercase and other characters will be in lowercase
• isdigit() function in python returns true only if the entire string is digits . if not it will return false

• If the input string is in small case it swaps the result to upper case.
• If the input string is in upper case it swaps the result to small case.
• If input string is in mix of small case and upper case then it swaps all the upper case character to small case and all the small case character to upper case.

str1 = "Salute to the Mother Earth"
str2= "Jupiter is the largest planet"
