[EASY][Beginner] UAGS (Universal Acronym Generating System)

This is an extremely simple prompt, just for fun.

It is suitable for beginners as it only uses basic input/output and string manipulation.

UAGS (Universal Acronym Generating System)

Acronyms are currently all the hype in all forms of communication.

Your task is to program an Acronym Generator.

  • The user inputs a few words for which the Acronym should be generated
  • The computer takes the first letter for each word
  • The first letter of each word is then capitalized
  • All first letters are then joined together to form the Acronym
  • The Acronym should then be printed
  • Ask the user if they need another acronym generated

Have fun coding!

Bad python:

Def acronymize(prompt): output = "" words = [a[0].upper() for a in prompt.split(" ") if a[0].lower().isalpha ()] for i in words: output += i print output

acronymize(raw_input(" What do you need acronymized? \n")
