Is there a function built into Java that capitalizes the first character of each word in a String, and does not affect the others?
Examples:
jon skeet -> Jon Skeet miles o'Brien -> Miles O'Brien (B remains capital, this rules out Title Case)old mcdonald -> Old Mcdonald**(Old McDonald would be find too, but I don't expect it to be THAT smart.)
A quick look at the Java String Documentation reveals only toUpperCase() and toLowerCase(), which of course do not provide the desired behavior. Naturally, Google results are dominated by those two functions. It seems like a wheel that must have been invented already, so it couldn't hurt to ask so I can use it in the future.

To capitalize the first character of a string, We can use the charAt() to separate the first character and then use the toUpperCase() function to capitalize it.
To use a keyboard shortcut to change between lowercase, UPPERCASE, and Capitalize Each Word, select the text and press SHIFT + F3 until the case you want is applied.
string capitalize() in Python In Python, the capitalize() method returns a copy of the original string and converts the first character of the string to a capital (uppercase) letter while making all other characters in the string lowercase letters.
WordUtils.capitalize(str) (from apache commons-text)
(Note: if you need "fOO BAr" to become "Foo Bar", then use capitalizeFully(..) instead)
