Case-sensitivity of identifiers is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Three dogs (Are there three dogs or one dog?) is a code snipped 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.

Works with: Euphoria 4.0.0

<lang Euphoria> -- These variables are all different sequence dog = "Benjamin" sequence Dog = "Samba" sequence DOG = "Bernie" printf( 1, "The three dogs are named %s, %s and %s\n", {dog, Dog, DOG} ) </lang>

J

<lang j> NB. These variables are all different

  dog=: 'Benjamin'
  Dog=: 'Samba'
  DOG=: 'Bernie'
  'The three dogs are named ',dog,', ',Dog,', and ',DOG

The three dogs are named Benjamin, Samba, and Bernie </lang>

Perl

<lang perl>

# These variables are all different
$dog='Benjamin';
$Dog='Samba';
$DOG='Bernie';
print "The three dogs are named $dog, $Dog, and $DOG \n"

</lang>

PureBasic

<lang PureBasic>dog$="Benjamin" Dog$="Samba" DOG$="Bernie" Debug "There is just one dog named "+dog$</lang>
