--description--

Given a string, return a new string where each letter is capitalized if its index is a Fibonacci number, and lowercased otherwise.

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. The first 10 numbers in the sequence are 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34.

  • The first character is at index 0.
  • If the index of non-letter characters is a Fibonacci number, leave it unchanged.

--hints--

capitalize_fibonacci("hello world") should return "HELLo woRld".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(capitalize_fibonacci("hello world"), "HELLo woRld")`)
}})

capitalize_fibonacci("HELLO WORLD") should return "HELLo woRld".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(capitalize_fibonacci("HELLO WORLD"), "HELLo woRld")`)
}})

capitalize_fibonacci("hello, world!") should return "HELLo, wOrld!".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(capitalize_fibonacci("hello, world!"), "HELLo, wOrld!")`)
}})

capitalize_fibonacci("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.") should return "THE qUicK broWn fox jUmped over thE lazy dog.".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(capitalize_fibonacci("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."), "THE qUicK broWn fox jUmped over thE lazy dog.")`)
}})
