Regex in Python to put spaces between words starting with capital letters

We have an existing solution for this problem, please refer Put spaces between words starting with capital letters link.

We can solve this problem quickly in python using findall() method of re (regex) library.

Approach :

Split each word starting with a capital letter using re.findall(expression, str) method.
Now change the capital letter of each word to lowercase and concatenate each word with space.

Implementation:

Python3

import re 
  
def putSpace(input): 
  
    # regex [A-Z][a-z]* means any string starting  
    # with capital character followed by many  
    # lowercase letters  
    words = re.findall('[A-Z][a-z]*', input) 
  
    # Change first letter of each word into lower 
    # case 
    for i in range(0,len(words)):
      words[i]=words[i][0].lower()+words[i][1:]
    print(' '.join(words))
    
  
# Driver program 
if __name__ == "__main__": 
    input = 'BruceWayneIsBatman'
    putSpace(input)

Output

bruce wayne is batman

Time Complexity: O(n)
Auxiliary Space: O(n)
