--description--

Given a string representing a variable name, return the variable name converted to SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE.

The given variable names will be written in one of the following formats:

  • camelCase
  • PascalCase
  • snake_case
  • kebab-case

In the above formats, words are separated by an underscore (_), a hyphen (-), or a new word starts with a capital letter.

To convert to SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE:

  • Make all letters uppercase
  • Separate words with an underscore (_)

--hints--

to_screaming_snake_case("userEmail") should return "USER_EMAIL".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(to_screaming_snake_case("userEmail"), "USER_EMAIL")`)
}})

to_screaming_snake_case("UserPassword") should return "USER_PASSWORD".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(to_screaming_snake_case("UserPassword"), "USER_PASSWORD")`)
}})

to_screaming_snake_case("user_id") should return "USER_ID".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(to_screaming_snake_case("user_id"), "USER_ID")`)
}})

to_screaming_snake_case("user-address") should return "USER_ADDRESS".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(to_screaming_snake_case("user-address"), "USER_ADDRESS")`)
}})

to_screaming_snake_case("username") should return "USERNAME".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(to_screaming_snake_case("username"), "USERNAME")`)
}})

to_screaming_snake_case("my_variable_name") should return "MY_VARIABLE_NAME".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(to_screaming_snake_case("my_variable_name"), "MY_VARIABLE_NAME")`)
}})
