Hi there!

I'd like to write a function that gets a list , checks if there are only=20
strings in the list starting with a lowercase letter and then returns 1 i=
f=20
only lowercase, 0 if not.
How can I do that?

example list:

myList =3D [ "abc", "def", "Cde"]

If I write:

def checkIfOnlyLower(list):
     for item in list:
          if item[0].islower():
             return 1
         else:
            return 0

the function will return 1 as soon as it comes to the first string starti=
ng=20
with a lowercase letter.But that's not what I want.

Hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance.
