Capitalize in Every Language

In this article, we’ll tackle the Capitalize program, its requirements, and how to test it.

Description

This simple program picks a string and return the first letter of it in uppercase.

Requirements

For this sample program, each solution should return the string with the first letter in uppercase. In other words, do not change anything else about the input string.

string -> String
react -> React
java -> Java
car -> Car
a long string term -> A long string term

In addition, there should be some error handling for situations where the user doesn’t input a string.

Testing
