Time For Live Example!

Now let us take a look at the live example given below where upper() method is used:

Summary

In this tutorial, we saw how to convert all case-based characters of a string into an uppercase using String upper() method of Python, we had also applied this method on digits and symbols to see the impact of this method on digits and symbols. We had also used Live Example for the same.
