Python String Title method

Python provides the built-in title() string method to convert a string into title case, where the first character of each word is capitalized and all remaining characters are converted to lowercase. This method is commonly used for formatting headings, names and titles in text processing and data cleaning tasks.

The title() method does not modify the original string and always returns a new formatted string.

Let's understand with the help of an example:
