Word Up
Let’s simplify things by making the letters in our word lowercase.
the_string = "Hello" the_string = the_string.lower()
The .lower()
function does not modify the string itself, it simply returns a lowercase-version. In the example above, we store the result back into the same variable.
We also need to grab the first letter of the word.
first_letter = the_string[0] second_letter = the_string[1] third_letter = the_string[2]
Remember that we start counting from zero, not one, so we access the first letter by asking for [0]
.
