how to use the upper() - King - Sep-24-2017
How do i write a program, that asks the user for two strings, and proceeds to replace all occurrences of the
second string in the first string with their uppercase versions.
Example output
enter first string: i want this item
enter second string: i
Replaced string: I want thIs Item

st2 = raw_input("Enter the second word: ")
n = st2

In simple words I am explaining you how to solve this problem.
1. Input first sentence from the user.
2. Input second word from the user.
3. Find the word in the sentence.
4. Replace them with uppercase word.

To get me understanding this, so basically you want to strings and all occurrences of string B in string A to be capitalized? So for example:
A = abc123testfoobartest123bcawhat
B = test
Result = abc123TESTfoobarTEST123bcawhat
Like that, right?
Here's a little "function pack" for you:
- stringhere.find(), this function can find substrings in strings
- String slicing with [:]
- String manipulation via lists

while this would probably yield the desired result, it is definitely not among the best approaches to solve the task. just a kind remark
