[Tutor] A very simple question - just for fun

[Gregor Lingl]

Just for fun another way to do the same:

MyList = ["abc", "def", "ghi"]
YourList = ["abc", "Def", "ghi"]

# anotherCheckIfOnlyLower, shortly CIOL
def CIOL(lst):
    return lst==[] or lst[0].islower() and CIOL(lst[1:])

# ------------------ Shell:

>>> MyList = ["abc", "def", "ghi"]
>>> YourList = ["abc", "Def", "ghi"]
>>> CIOL(MyList)
1
>>> CIOL(YourList)
0
>>>

Have fun!
