title: Strings- taking out a letter at the start of each string in a list
body: <p>I am new to coding and am doing a computer science class. I have enjoyed it so far. the following Question has stumped me:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>An acronym is a string of capital letters formed by taking the first letters from a phrase. For example, SADD is an acronym for “students against drunk driving”. Note that the acronym should be composed of all capital letters even if the original words are not. Write a program that has the user input a phrase and then prints the corresponding acronym.
  These questions will help you put together the final program:</li>
  <li>What type of data will the input be? What type of data will the output be?</li>
  <li>Get the phrase from the user.</li>
  <li>Convert to upper case.</li>
  <li>Divide the phrase into words</li>
  <li>Initialize a new empty list, letters.</li>
  <li>Get the first letter of each word</li>
  <li>Append the first letter to the list letters.</li>
  <li>Join the letters together, with no space between them</li>
  <li>Print the acronym.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I have done steps 1 through 4 confidently. 5 I am not to sure. 6 i dont know how i get the first letter of each word.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>use_input = input("Please write a phrase and i will turn it into an acronym")
  
  use_input_uppercase = use_input.upper()
  
  use_input_uppercase_split = use_input_uppercase.split()
  
  letters = list(use_input_uppercase_split)
  
  for use_input_uppercase_split in letters:
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am not sure what to do to to call the first letter of each word.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your help in advance.</p>
