let small = list[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase() + list[i].substring(1).toLowerCase(); This works ...

let small= list[i].toLowerCase(); small = small.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + small.slice(1);

Assuming list[i] is "Russia" let small = list[i].toLowerCase(); <small> = "russia" let first=list[i].slice(0,1); <first> = "R" small = small.replace(first, first.toUpperCase()); Remember <first> = "R", Replace all <first> in <small> by <first>.toUpperCase() But <small> doesn't have 'R' in it, <small> = "russia", it has 'r' as first letter, so the replace() did nothing cause it didn't find any 'R' in <small>.

Ipang thanks, I did a little tweak to my code, instead for "let first=list[i].slice(0,1);" I did "let first=small.slice(0,1);"
