I have a string named userName in my program. It holds a users name and I want to be able to change it's first letter to a capital if not already.

For example if userName = "john" I want it to change too "John"

I attempted this:

userClass[1] = userClass[1].upper()

That does not work.

Any ideas?

`userClass.title()` would do that for you. – Martijn Pieters Dec 10 '15 at 21:56

Strings are immutable. Once it has been created, elements can't be changed. – Namrata Tolani Sep 09 '17 at 16:06
