without giving the solution I’ll sugggest you use a general problem-solving approach like what I outline here > [@Trouble With Algorithms](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/trouble-with-algorithms/144629/3): > > here’s what I’d do 0 . relax - grab a coffee and snack - keep munching for the next 8 steps 1 . simply read the problem statement and instructions once - no need to completely understand anything 2 . work through any provided examples in your head once 3 . look at the test cases in order 4 . carefully examine the inputs of a test case - how many inputs are there - what is the type of each input - what is the meaning of each input 5 . carefully examine the output and result of a test case -… so I’d write the first test case on paper ```auto input: I'm a little tea pot target: I'm A Little Tea Pot ``` try to describe in everyday language - without using programming terms like variables, arrays, loops, functions etc - how to get the target from the input since you don’t want to use `split` the goal is to come up with a solution that does not split the input string into an array - or in everyday language avoids an intermediate step of rewriting the sentence into a sequence of separated words if you struggle to understand the problem or come up with a solution try to break up the problem into smaller problems that are more manageable how are problems broken up? what does a smaller problem mean? there can be many answers in general a problem can be made smaller in size - e.g. consider an array of 10 items or 1 item instead of an array of 1000 items a problem can be made smaller in scope - e.g. solve for just English or just Latin languages instead of all languages of the world a problem can be broken up into multiple sub-problems - the solution to a sub-problem becomes a step in the solution of the original problem --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/title-case-a-sentence-without-split/147477)._
