not_isupp = "Geeksforgeeks"

# Checking which string is
# completely uppercase
print ("Is GEEKSFORGEEKS full uppercase ? : " + str(isupp_str.isupper()))

list_str = test_str.split()

count = 0

# counting upper cases
for i in list_str:
    if (i.isupper()):
        count = count + 1

# printing abbreviations count
