Normalize Input

Raw text usually needs trimming and case normalization before comparison or storage.

Normalize Input

normalize.py 
def normalize_name(raw):
    trimmed = raw.strip()
    return trimmed.lower()


raw_name = 
normalized = normalize_name(raw_name)

print(f"name={normalized}")

def normalize_name(raw):
    trimmed = raw.strip()
    return trimmed.lower()


raw_name = 
normalized = normalize_name(raw_name)

print(f"name={normalized}")
normalization Normalization converts different user input spellings into a stable internal value.
