## Overview

The **`capitalize()` method** in pandas capitalizes the first character of a string and lowercases the rest. It can also be applied to a column in the pandas DataFrame.


## Syntax
```python
str.capitalize()
```

# Example
The following code will demonstrate how to use the `capitalize()` function.

import pandas as pd

# Create a DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame({
    "name": ["marIa","pAUl","EVa","Oliver","seBasTian","CamilA"],
    "age":[20,22,32,26,29,30],
    "salary":[2000,2500,4000,3500,4200,3000],
    "gender":["female","male","female","male","male"
    ,"female"]
})

# Convert first character to uppercase and lowercase the rest using capitalize() 
print(df["name"].str.capitalize())
