Hello you guys, I am a newbie in Python and I'm also studying more about Python.
I have a small code functions and I want to convert all uppercase characters to lowercase. Function as below:
def convertChar(char):
if char >= 'A' and char <= 'Z':
return chr(ord(char) + 32)
def toLowerCase(string):
for char in string:
string = string + convertChar(char)
return string
string = input("Enter string - ")
result = toLowerCase(string)
print(result)
But I get an exception TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "NoneType") to str when I run code above.
Enter string - Python
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 9, in <module>
result = toLowerCase(string)
File "main.py", line 6, in toLowerCase
string = string + convertChar(char)
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "NoneType") to str
And I am using python 3.8.2
Anyone can explain it to me? How can I solve it?
Thanks for any response.

This error throw because your function is not return value. You can see
convertChar()function still not return forelsecase. So you can change code as below:def convertChar(char): if char >= 'A' and char <= 'Z': return chr(ord(char) + 32) return char def toLowerCase(string): str = "" for char in string: str = str + convertChar(char) return str string = input("Enter string - ") result = toLowerCase(string) print(result)In the
toLowerCase()function I also changed a little code, I used to other variable to help store value return for this function help avoid duplicate content, and below is result:Enter string - LAZY LOADING, AGGREGATE AND CQRS lazy loading, aggregate and cqrsI hope it resolve issue for you.
