How to uppercase specific letter

I want to capitalise every 5th letter of name

Note: i only want to use .upper() method "not capitalize()"

I tried this but im getting IndexError: string index out of range

name = "Cristiano Ronaldo"

for t in range(0,len(name),5):
    name = str(name)[t].upper()
    print(name)

"".join([char.upper() if index > 0 and (index - 1) % 5 == 0 else char for index, char in enumerate(name)])

Use pythonic way:

name = "cristiano Ronaldo"
print(''.join([l if i%5 else l.upper() for i, l in enumerate(name, 1)]))

name = "Cristiano Ronaldo"

print(''.join([ letter.upper() if (index+1) % 5 == 0 else letter for index,letter in enumerate(name)]))

enumerate method used to track the index of each letter in string while looping and for every multiple of 5 we are doing letter.upper() else letter

you can first change the str to list:

l_name = list(name)

for i in range(0,len(l_name),5):
    l_name[i] = l_name[i].upper()

result = ''.join(l_name)
