How to detect lowercase letters in Python?

by

To check if a character is lower case, use the islower method of str. This simple imperative program prints all the lowercase letters in your string:

for c in s:
    if c.islower():
         print c

Note that in Python 3 you should use print(c) instead of print c.

Possibly ending up with assigning those letters to a different variable.

To do this I would suggest using a list comprehension, though you may not have covered this yet in your course:

>>> s="abCd"
>>> lowercase_letters = [c for c in s if c.islower()]
>>> print lowercase_letters
['a', 'b', 'd']

Or to get a string you can use ''.join with a generator:

>>> lowercase_letters="".join(c for c in s if c.islower())
>>> print lowercase_letters
'abd'
