given word in a sentence to its uppercase in python code example

Example 1: javascript capitalize words

//capitalize only the first letter of the string. 
function capitalizeFirstLetter(string) {
    return string.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + string.slice(1);
}
//capitalize all words of a string. 
function capitalizeWords(string) {
    return string.replace(/(?:^|\s)\S/g, function(a) { return a.toUpperCase(); });
};

Example 2: javascript create a function that counts the number of syllables a word has. each syllable is separated with a dash -.

function new_count(word) {
  word = word.toLowerCase();                                     //word.downcase!
  if(word.length <= 3) { return 1; }                             //return 1 if word.length <= 3
    word = word.replace(/(?:[^laeiouy]es|ed|[^laeiouy]e)$/, '');   //word.sub!(/(?:[^laeiouy]es|ed|[^laeiouy]e)$/, '')
    word = word.replace(/^y/, '');                                 //word.sub!(/^y/, '')
    return word.match(/[aeiouy]{1,2}/g).length;                    //word.scan(/[aeiouy]{1,2}/).size
}
