The presence of digits or number before the word will not affect the working of the function. The character after the digit is considered as the first character.

In case of apostrophes the title() capitalizes the first letter and the letter after apostrophes as well.

# incase the of numbers or digits at the beginning
text = "20dollars is the cost of Python programming book"
print(text.title())

# in case of apostrophes
text = "it's python's interpreter"
print(text.title())
