SpongeBob mocking text (spongemock) is a style of writing in which the alphabets are randomly written in upper and lower case. It is used in internet communities to mock something. The text originated as a meme from the SpongeBob cartoon series.
Examples : 
 

Input : The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Output : tHE QuiCK BrOWN fOX juMps over tHe lAzY dOG.

Input : This sentence is to test the function.
Output : This seNtENce is TO TeST THE funcTiON.

Algorithm : 
 

  1. Process the input string by character.
  2. Check if the character is an alphabet by using isalpha() method.
  3. Use random.random() method to generate a random number between 0 and 1.
  4. If the number generated is greater than 0.5 then change the character to upper case using upper() method.
  5. If the number generated is less than or equal to 0.5 then change the character to lower case using lower() method.

 

Python3




# import the random library
import random
 
# Function to convert into spongemock
def spongemock(input_text):
     
    # variable declaration for the output text
    output_text = ""
     
    # check the cases for every individual character
    for char in input_text:
         
        # check if the character is an alphabet
        if char.isalpha():
             
            # convert to upper case
            if random.random() > 0.5:
                output_text += char.upper()
                 
            # convert to lower case
            else:
                output_text += char.lower()
         
        # if character is not and alphabet
        # add it as it is
        else:
            output_text += char
     
    # return the output_text
    return output_text
     
# Driver code
if __name__=="__main__":
    input_text1 = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
    input_text2 = "This sentence is to test the function."
    print(spongemock(input_text1))
    print(spongemock(input_text2))


Output : 
 

tHe qUICk BrOWn fox jUMPs oVEr thE lAZy dOG.
THIS seNTEncE IS tO TesT tHe FuNcTIOn.

The above code generates the text with equal amount if lower and upper case characters. If we want to skew the balance to favour one side we can switch the random.random() method with random.triangular() method.
 

Python3




# import the random library
import random
 
def skewupper():
    low = 0
    high = 100
    mode = 80
    return random.triangular(low, high, mode)
 
def skewlower():
    low = 0
    high = 100
    mode = 20
    return random.triangular(low, high, mode)
     
# Function to convert into spongemock
# with more upper case characters
def spongemockupper(input_text):
    output_text = ""
    for char in input_text:
        if char.isalpha():
            if skewupper() > 50:
                output_text += char.upper()
            else:
                output_text += char.lower()
        else:
            output_text += char
    return output_text
 
# Function to convert into spongemock
# with more lower case characters
def spongemocklower(input_text):
    output_text = ""
    for char in input_text:
        if char.isalpha():
            if skewlower() > 50:
                output_text += char.upper()
            else:
                output_text += char.lower()
        else:
            output_text += char
    return output_text
 
# Driver code
if __name__=="__main__":
    input_text1 = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
    print("Spongemock text with more upper case characters :\n" +
                                    spongemockupper(input_text1))
 
    print("\nSpongemock text with more lower case characters :\n" +
                                      spongemocklower(input_text1))


Output : 
 

Spongemock text with more upper case characters :
ThE qUICK BROwN FOX jUMPs OVeR THE lazy DoG.

Spongemock text with more lower case characters :
The qUick BrOwn fOX JuMPs oveR the LaZy DOg.
