Is there an easier way?[SOLVED]

Question

Hi all
I wrote this code to solve a code coach problem
The problem is to put "_" befor every capital letter(except first letter)and also make it all lowercase
So "ThisIsAThing" would be "this_is_a_thing"
I wanted to know if there is an easier way to do it since I feel 14 lines of code is alot for this.

I hope this kind of questions are ok to ask since when I solve code coache problems I really like to know best ways to solve them and learn from them

Answer 1

You can do it this way as well
a=input()

if a[0].isupper():
a=a[0].lower()+a[1:]

for i in a:
if i.isupper():
b="_"+i.lower()
a=b.join(a.split(i))

print(a)

codemonkey it does work ,and it's actually more easy to understand for me ,you split the sentence from where capital word is found ,use "_"+capitalWord.lower().join() method to the join the list again
