Python Program to Count Number of Uppercase and Lowercase Letters in a String

This is a Python Program to count the number of lowercase letters and uppercase letters in a string.

Problem Description

The program takes a string and counts the number of lowercase letters and uppercase letters in the string.

Problem Solution

1. Take a string from the user and store it in a variable.
2. Initialize the two count variables to 0.
3. Use a for loop to traverse through the characters in the string and increment the first count variable each time a lowercase character is encountered and increment the second count variable each time a uppercase character is encountered.
4. Print the total count of both the variables.
5. Exit.

Program/Source Code

Here is source code of the Python Program to count the number of lowercase characters and uppercase characters in a string. The program output is also shown below.

string=raw_input("Enter string:")
count1=0
count2=0
for i in string:
      if(i.islower()):
            count1=count1+1
      elif(i.isupper()):
            count2=count2+1
print("The number of lowercase characters is:")
print(count1)
print("The number of uppercase characters is:")
print(count2)
Program Explanation

1. User must enter a string and store it in a variable.
2. Both the count variables are initialized to zero.
