The islower() method in Python checks if all characters in a string are lowercase. It returns True if all alphabetic characters are lowercase, otherwise, it returns False, if there is at least one uppercase letter.

Let's look at a quick example of using the islower() method.

s = "hello"
res = s.islower()
print(res)

Output
True
