After saying that, a Latin (or English) alphabet may however, display differently, depending upon what code page is being used. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:04, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
: I don't think this task has anything to do with the visual appearance of the letters. If you are on a system which only supports EBCDIC for IO then I think for this task you would need an internal representation of ASCII as indices into an array of EBCDIC characters. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 03:49, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
As to the ''use a reliable style of coding'' phrase, I interpreted that to mean to code the program in such a way to not assume that the lowercase letters may not be contiguous on other systems, and that the programer should test if a particular character is indeed, a lowercase character. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:04, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
