Creating a python program where odd words are upper cased and even words are reversed in a string

Question

The program should generate a string where the odd words are upper cased and even words are reversed

Answer 1

sentence = input("Enter your sentence: ");
words = sentence.split();
newstr = []
for w in words:
if (len(w) % 2) == 0:
newstr.append(w[::-1])
else:
newstr.append(w.upper())
print(" ".join(newstr))

Answer 2

Oh, I finally get my missunderstood:
I assumed that odd words where words with odd length, and same way for "even words"...
Code fixed:
sentence = input("Enter your sentence: ");
words = sentence.split();
newstr = []
for w in range(len(words)):
if (w % 2) != 0:
newstr.append(words[w][::-1])
else:
newstr.append(words[w].upper())
print(" ".join(newstr))
[ edit ]
Change condition between == and !=, to inverse the rules ( as first element should be consider numbered zero or one, make it even or odd :P )

Answer 3

Entering "this is an attempt" will output "siht si na ATTEMPT": isn't it what is expected?

Answer 4

So all the words don't be uppercase, only odd words, and even words are reversed... or should I miss something?

Answer 5

this is pretty easy man

Answer 6

yeah I am having trouble computing it

Answer 7

sorry thought you were asking it as a challenge.
let str be the name of your string variable then
if (len(str) % 2 == 0)
str = str[::-1]
else
str = str.upper()
check if this works

Answer 8

Visph, your code almost works except that all the words are upper case and not the odd ones. The even words are also not reversed

Answer 9

entering "My name is python" should give MY eman IS nohtyp.

Answer 10

The odd words in a sentence should be capitalized and even words will be reversed

Answer 11
