Case-sensitivity of identifiers
From Rosetta Code
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Three dogs (Are there three dogs or one dog?) is a code snippet used to illustrate the lettercase sensitivity of the programming language. For a case-sensitive language, the identifiers dog, Dog and DOG are all different and we should get the output:
The three dogs are named Benjamin, Samba and Bernie.
For a language that is lettercase insensitive, we get the following output:
There is just one dog named Bernie.

[edit] bc
The only variables are 'a' through 'z'. They can only hold numbers, not strings. Some implementations allow longer names like 'dog', but only with lowercase letters. A name like 'Dog' or 'DOG' is a syntax error.
obase = 16
ibase = 16
/*
* Store the hexadecimal number 'BE27A312'
* in the variable 'd'.
*/
d = BE27A312
"There is just one dog named "; d
quit
There is just one dog named BE27A312

[edit] Brlcad
The three dogs are drawn as spheres in this simple example:

echo The three dogs are named Benjamin, Samba and Bernie
[edit] C
C is case sensitive; if it would be case insensitive, an error about redefinition of a variable would be raised.

Go is case sensitive. Further, visibility depends on case. See the Go entry under the Scope modifiers task.

func PackageSees() map[*string]int {
// Print dogs visible from here.
fmt.Println("Package sees:", dog, Dog, DOG)
// Return addresses of the variables visible from here.
// The point of putting them in a map is that maps store only
// unique keys, so it will end up with three items only if

[edit] Groovy
Solution:
def dog = "Benjamin", Dog = "Samba", DOG = "Bernie"
println (dog == DOG ? "There is one dog named ${dog}" : "There are three dogs named ${dog}, ${Dog} and ${DOG}.")
Output:
There are three dogs named Benjamin, Samba and Bernie.

The program below demonstrates the three dog task. All variants of Icon/Unicon have case sensitive variable names. But if one wasn't this would find it.

my $dog = 'Benjamin';

The only place that Perl�pays any attention to the case of identifiers is that, for certain error messages, it will guess that an identifier starting lowercase is probably a function name, while one starting uppercase is probably a type or constant name. But this case distinction is merely a convention in Perl, not mandatory:
constant dog = 'Benjamin';
sub Dog() { 'Samba' }
my &DOG = { 'Bernie' }
say "The three dogs are named {dog}, {Dog}, and {DOG}."

[edit] Prolog
In Prolog, the initial of a variable must be a uppercase letter. So the task can't be completed but we can write this code :
three_dogs :-
DoG = 'Benjamin',
Dog = 'Samba',
DOG = 'Bernie',
format('The three dogs are named ~w, ~w and ~w.~n', [DoG, Dog, DOG]).
The output is :
?- three_dogs. The three dogs are named Benjamin, Samba and Bernie. true.

Output:

[edit] Racket
The default setting for the Racket reader is to be case sensitive:
#lang racket
(define dog "Benjamin")
(define Dog "Samba")
(define DOG "Bernie")
(if (equal? dog DOG)
(displayln (~a "There is one dog named " DOG "."))
(displayln (~a "The three dogs are named " dog ", " Dog ", and, " DOG ".")))
Output:
The three dogs are named Benjamin, Samba, and, Bernie.
If you need case insensitive identifiers, then use #ci to turn on case insensitivity:
#lang racket
#ci(module dogs racket
(define dog "Benjamin")
(set! Dog "Samba")
(set! DOG "Bernie")
(if (equal? dog DOG)
(displayln (~a "There is one dog named " DOG "."))
(displayln (~a "The three dogs are named " dog ", " Dog ", and, " DOG "."))))

Normally, the REXX language is case insensitive (with respect to language and variables).
But lower/upper/mixed variable names can be handled if you wish.

[edit] Ruby
Ruby gives a special meaning to the first letter of a name. A lowercase letter starts a local variable. An uppercase letter starts a constant. So dog is a local variable, but Dog and DOG are constants. To adapt this task to Ruby, I added dOg and doG so that I have more than one local variable.
module FiveDogsOutput:
dog = "Benjamin"
dOg = "Dogley"
doG = "Fido"
Dog = "Samba" # this constant is FiveDogs::Dog
DOG = "Bernie" # this constant is FiveDogs::DOG
names = [dog, dOg, doG, Dog, DOG]
names.uniq!
puts "There are %d dogs named %s." % [names.length, names.join(", ")]
puts
puts "The local variables are %s." % local_variables.join(", ")
puts "The constants are %s." % constants.join(", ")
end
There are 5 dogs named Benjamin, Dogley, Fido, Samba, Bernie. The local variables are dog, dOg, doG, names. The constants are Dog, DOG.

[edit] UNIX Shell

[edit] XPL0
XPL0 is normally case-insensitive, so there is really just one dog named Bernie. However, it has a command-line switch (/c) that turns case sensitivity on. All names must start with a capital letter (or an underline, so they can't clash with command words such as 'for'). Thus "dog" cannot be used as a name, but Dog, DOG and DoG (and For) can. The intent of the command-line switch (/c) is to detect inconsistent capitalizing of names such as Ascii and ASCII or CpuReg and CPUReg.
