[Solved] Camel to Snake Python Coding Challenge

Question

I'm currently working on a Camel to Snake Python coding challenge and have managed to pass all the test cases except the last one. Below is the code I've written:

camelCaseText = input()
snake_case_text = ""
for pos, letter in enumerate(camelCaseText):
x = letter
if letter.isupper():
x = "_" + letter.lower()
snake_case_text += x
print(snake_case_text)

Unfortunately, I'm struggling to identify what's the issue with the code. Could someone explain where I might be going wrong?

Answer 1

Parveen ,
the task description says:

`Every capital letter is replaced with its lowercase prefixed by an underscore _, except for the first letter, which is lowercased without the underscore, so that SomeName becomes some_name.`

so we can assume that the input of the last test case starts with an uppercase letter.

try to rework your code to fix this issue.

Answer 2

Someone asked a similar question before, so I will answer a similar answer this time.

What would happen if the string is "IsItFun"?

Answer 3

Lothar
I only read the upper part of question once that's why I couldn't figure out the problem anyway thanks .

Answer 4

Mihaly Nyilas ,

your last comment might be right, but not for sololearn.

i have prepared a code that differs only in handling of the first letter. so the last test case provides a word starting with an upper case letter.

Answer 5

Can you link the camel to snake challenge? I’m not sure how to find it otherwise.

Answer 7

Parveen Sorry, when I click some links (including that one), Sololearn app goes bye-bye.

Answer 8

import string
L = list(string.ascii_lowercase)
U = list(string.ascii_uppercase)
a = input()
if a[0] in U:
a = a.replace(a[0], L[U.index(a[0])], 1)
for x in a[1:]:
if x in U:
i = U.index(x)
a = a.replace(x, "_" + L[i], 1)
print(a)

Answer 9

this is just a note
Lothar, Parveen: camelCase does not start with a capital letter, but PascalCase does
