Python program to find maximum uppercase run

Last Updated : 11 Dec, 2020

Giving a String, write a Python program to find maximum run of uppercase characters.

Examples:

Input : test_str = ‘GeEKSForGEEksISBESt’
Output : 5
Explanation : ISBES is best run of uppercase.
Input : test_str = ‘GeEKSForGEEKSISBESt’
Output : 10
Explanation : GEEKSISBES is best run of uppercase.

Method : Using isupper() + loop

In this, we update maximum run when non-uppercase is encountered otherwise counter is incremented if character is uppercase.

Python3

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Maximum uppercase run
# Using isupper() + loop 
  
# initializing string
test_str = 'GeEKSForGEEksISBESt'
  
# printing original string
print("The original string is : " + str(test_str))
  
cnt = 0
res = 0
for idx in range(0, len(test_str)):
      
    # updating run count on uppercase
    if test_str[idx].isupper():
        cnt += 1
          
    # on lowercase, update the maxrun
    else :
        res = cnt 
        cnt = 0
if test_str[len(test_str) - 1].isupper(): 
    res = cnt
  
# printing result
print("Maximum Uppercase Run : " + str(res))

Output:

The original string is : GeEKSForGEEksISBESt
Maximum Uppercase Run : 5
