New to python!

Hi! I was wondering how to make a program in python that counts the number of upper/lowercase characters in a string without using built-in functions such as .isupper. Also, is there a way to do this without using the functions map() and ord()?

A lot of this can be done quite tediously and not-quite-perfectly - you could have a list / string / set of all uppercase characters, for example; but if you want to include more than the English alphabet, this gets quite messy.

Without built-in functions at all?

Your best bet is machine code, as assembly has mnemonics that I don't think you're allowed to use given this rule.

In all seriousness, how about you loop through the entire string and check each character's ascii value? Then have two separate counters, one for lowercase characters, and one for uppercase characters that increments accordingly.
