Creating a python program where odd words are upper cased and even words are reversed in a string

sentence = input("Enter your sentence: "); words = sentence.split(); newstr = [] for w in words: if (len(w) % 2) == 0: newstr.append(w[::-1]) else: newstr.append(w.upper()) print(" ".join(newstr))

Oh, I finally get my missunderstood: I assumed that odd words where words with odd length, and same way for "even words"... Code fixed: sentence = input("Enter your sentence: "); words = sentence.split(); newstr = [] for w in range(len(words)): if (w % 2) != 0: newstr.append(words[w][::-1]) else: newstr.append(words[w].upper()) print(" ".join(newstr)) [ edit ] Change condition between == and !=, to inverse the rules ( as first element should be consider numbered zero or one, make it even or odd :P )

Entering "this is an attempt" will output "siht si na ATTEMPT": isn't it what is expected?

So all the words don't be uppercase, only odd words, and even words are reversed... or should I miss something?

sorry thought you were asking it as a challenge. let str be the name of your string variable then if (len(str) % 2 == 0) str = str[::-1] else str = str.upper() check if this works

Visph, your code almost works except that all the words are upper case and not the odd ones. The even words are also not reversed

The odd words in a sentence should be capitalized and even words will be reversed
