Basic Algorithm Scripting - Title Case a Sentence

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:

Hello, I am currently trying to set the first letter to uppercase, but I’m starting to get a bit lost, could someone help me out?

Your code so far

function titleCase(str) {
  let strArr = str.split(" ")
  let newStr = ""
  for(let i = 0; i < strArr.length; i ++) {
    newStr += strArr[i][0].toUpperCase()
  }
  return str;
}

titleCase("I'm a little tea pot");

Try adding some console.log calls, to see in console what is happening at each step.

3

I’m getting IALTP :sweat_smile: I guess it’s just captilizing the first words and returning them

4

So the question now is - how to include the rest of the word as necessary?

5

I have no idea, maybe replace the lower case one with upper case with .replace?

6

Hmm, would it work if word has first letter repeating further?

How two strings can be joined together?

7

concatinating the two strings together +=

8

Okay, how would look the updated code then?

Never mind I did puesdocode and figured it out with a bit of searching.

function titleCase(str) {
  // First I split the string by white space making it like ["I'm", "a", "little", "tea", "pot"]
  // make first letter uppercase
  // make a local variable that contains the string, then make a global variable for the new string that I want to return

  let strArr = str.split(" ");
  let finalStr = []
  for(let i = 0; i < strArr.length; i++) {
    const lowCase = strArr[i].toLowerCase()
    const newStr = lowCase.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + lowCase.slice(1);
    finalStr.push(newStr);
  }
  return finalStr.join(" ");
}

console.log(titleCase("I'm a little tea pot"))
