How to check if a character is uppercase or lowercase in Pyhton?

Question

I have a string any and I need to know the amount of upper and lower case letters in that string. I started sketching something like this:

def contaMaiuscula(string):
    ma = 0
    mi = 0
    for c in string:
        if(c == ????):
            ma = ma+1
        else:
            mi = min +1
    return ma, mi

But how do I know if a character is uppercase or lowercase? Is there a function for this?

Answer 1

As Python documentation the function would be isupper(). So that would be it:

def contaMaiuscula(string):
    mai = 0
    min = 0
    for c in string:
        if c.isupper():
            mai += 1
        else:
            min += 1
    return mai, min

Behold working in the ideone. And in the repl it.. Also put on the Github for future reference.

There were other problems with the code.
