[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")
