Capitalize the first and last letter of each word of a String

Given a string which contains N words, This word can be from of single and multiple characters. Our goal is to capitalize the first and last letter of each word. for example.

Input  : You are better than me
Output : YoU ArE BetteR ThaN ME

Input  : i have an doubt
Output : I HavE AN DoubT

Here given code implementation process.
