String case
From Rosetta Code
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
Take the string alphaBETA and demonstrate how to convert it to:
- upper-case and
- lower-case
Use the default encoding of a string literal or plain ASCII if there is no string literal in your language.
Show any additional case conversion functions (e.g. swapping case, capitalizing the first letter, etc.) that may be included in the library of your language.
Metrics: length
Sub-string search: Count occurrences of a substring
Multi-string operations: LCP, LCS, concatenation
Manipulation: reverse, lower- and uppercase

360 Assembly[edit]
The first version uses a nice thing of EBCDIC coding, uppercase can be performed with a simple 'OR' with blank character (X'40'), in the same way lowercase can be performed with a 'AND' with character 191 (X'BF').
UCASE CSECT
USING UCASE,R15
MVC UC,PG
MVC LC,PG
OC UC,=16C' ' or X'40' uppercase
NC LC,=16X'BF' and X'BF' lowercase

XPRNT LC,L'LC print lc
BR R14

END UCASE
- Output:

The second version uses the translate operation (TR opcode), but now EBCDIC coding with alphabetic in 3 sequences, makes things a bit longer to create translation tables.

TI-83 BASIC[edit]
Note: While lowercase letters are built in to every TI-83/4/+/SE calculator, typing in lowercase is disabled by default and you have to hack the calculator to type in lowercase. However, the calculator does not have to be hacked to simply display lowercase output from a program, so on non-hacked calculators this program will only be useful one-way. To get lowercase letters, you have to create a new program with "AsmPrgmFDCB24DEC9" as the text, and then execute it on the homescreen with Asm(prgmYOURPROGRAMNAME). Then press [ALPHA] twice.

Bracmat[edit]
The functions upp$ and low$ assume that strings are UTF-8 encoded, but if a string is not valid UTF-8, it is assumed the string is ISO-8859-1. Case conversion is not restricted to the Latin alphabet, but extends to all alphabets that have upper and lower case characters.

C++[edit]
This method does the transform in-place. Alternate methods might return a new copy or use a stream manipulator.
#include <algorithm>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>
/// \brief in-place convert string to upper case
/// \return ref to transformed string
void str_toupper(std::string &str) {
std::transform(str.begin(),
str.end(),
str.begin(),
(int(*)(int)) std::toupper);
}
/// \brief in-place convert string to lower case
/// \return ref to transformed string
void str_tolower(std::string &str) {
std::transform(str.begin(),
str.end(),
str.begin(),
(int(*)(int)) std::tolower);
}
Here is sample usage code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string foo("_upperCas3Me!!");
str_toupper(foo);
cout << foo << endl;
str_tolower(foo);
cout << foo << endl;
return 0;
}

Common Lisp[edit]
You can use the string-upcase function to perform upper casing:

"ALPHABETA"
and you can do lower casing by using string-downcase:

Elixir[edit]
The String module provides the following functions:
String.downcase("alphaBETA")
# => alphabeta
String.upcase("alphaBETA")
# => ALPHABETA
String.capitalize("alphaBETA")
# => Alphabeta
As with most String functions in Elixir, these are fully compatible with Unicode.
String.downcase("αΒ")
# => αβ
String.upcase("αΒ")
# => ΑΒ
String.capitalize("αΒ")
# => Αβ

Forth[edit]
ANS Forth does not have words to convert case for either strings or characters. For known alpha-numeric ASCII characters, the following can be used:
: tolower ( C -- c ) 32 or ; : toupper ( c -- C ) 32 invert and ; : lower ( addr len -- ) over + swap do i [email protected] tolower i c! loop ; : upper ( addr len -- ) over + swap do i [email protected] toupper i c! loop ;
If the character range is unknown, these definitions are better:
: tolower ( C -- c ) dup [char] A [char] Z 1+ within if 32 + then ; : toupper ( c -- C ) dup [char] a [char] z 1+ within if 32 - then ;
create s ," alphaBETA" s count type s count 2dup upper type s count 2dup lower type
Output:
alphaBETA ALPHABETA alphabeta

program example

contains
subroutine To_upper(str)

do i = 1, len(str)

end program example
Functions could be used instead, especially with later compilers that enable lengths not fixed at compile time, but this involves copying the text about. By contrast, the subroutines alter the text in-place, though if something like Utext = Uppercase(text) is desired so that both versions are available, a subroutine is less convenient.
F90 introduced the intrinsic function i = IACHAR(c), which returns the integer value of the position of character c in the ASCII character set, even if the processor's default character set is different, such as perhaps EBCDIC. Function ACHAR is the inverse. If the bit pattern of the character was not being interpreted as in the ASCII set, this will cause odd results, say on a system using EBCDIC or (on an ASCII-using cpu) for a file originating from an EBCDIC-using system. Some systems offer additional options to the file OPEN statement that enable character conversion between ASCII and EBCDIC, and there may also be options concerning big- and little-endian usage. But much will depend on the format of the data in the file. If the data are a mixture of text, integers, floating-point, etc. all in binary, there will be no hope for such simple translations.
For converting lower-case text to upper, the following will work both on an ASCII system and an EBCDIC system (or any other encodement), once it is compiled for that system:SUBROUTINE UPCASE(TEXT)The INDEX function of course returning zero if the character is not found. Converting from upper to lower case is the obvious inverse and it might be worthwhile defining a MODULE with suitable named character constants to avoid repetition - one might hope the compiler will share duplicated constants rather than producing a fresh version every time, but it might not too. The repeated text scanning done by the INDEX function for each character of TEXT will of course be a lot slower. A still-more advanced compiler might be able to take advantage of special translation op-codes, on systems that offer them. If storage space is not at a premium a swifter method would be to create something like
CHARACTER*(*) TEXT
INTEGER I,C
DO I = 1,LEN(TEXT)
C = INDEX("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",TEXT(I:I))
IF (C.GT.0) TEXT(I:I) = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"(C:C)
END DO
END
CHARACTER*1 XLATUC(0:255) with most entries being equal to their index, except for those corresponding to the lower case letters for which the value is the corresponding upper case letter. Then DO I = 1,LEN(TEXT)
TEXT(I:I) = XLATUC(ICHAR(TEXT(I:I)))
END DO
Note that in EBCDIC the offset is not 32 but 64. Rather than using an undocumented "magic constant" such as 32, one could define PARAMETER (HIC = ICHAR("A") - ICHAR("a")) instead or just place such code in-line and have hope for the compiler. This would also handle the small detail that "A" > "a" in EBCDIC rather than ASCII's "A" < "a". But alas, in EBCDIC the letter codes are not contiguous (there are many non-letter symbols between "a" and "z" as well as between "A" and "Z"), so the bounds of "A" to "Z" will not isolate only letters for attack. And it was not just IBM mainframes that used various versions of EBCDIC, so also did Burroughs, among others.
Here a complete example, using functions, and as far as I can tell, will work also with EBCDIC:

These functions use Unicode single- and multiple-character mapping tables and thus try to do the right thing with Unicode, possibly making the string longer in some cases:
uc["Imbiß"] // Last char is \u00df
Produces:

Go[edit]
"Title case" in Go's Unicode package does not mean capitalize the first letter of each word, but rather capitalize each letter as if it were the first letter of a word. The distinction matters in languages such as Croatian with digraphs with a capitialized form that is different from the all-caps form. ToTitle() converts a string to all title case.
It is Title() on the other hand, that capitalizes the first letter of each word. It identifies word boundaries and capitalizes first letters, leaving other letters unmodified. As of Go 1.2 though, the word breaking algorithm is not Unicode compliant.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
"unicode"
"unicode/utf8"
)
func main() {
show("alphaBETA")
show("alpha BETA")
// Three digraphs that should render similar to DZ, Lj, and nj.
show("DŽLjnj")
// Unicode apostrophe in third word.
show("o'hare O'HARE o’hare don't")
}

# like ruby's upcase - only characters a to z are affected
def ascii_upcase:
explode | map( if 97 <= . and . <= 122 then . - 32 else . end) | implode;
Examples:
"alphaBETA" | ascii_upcase
#=> "ALPHABETA"
"alphaBETA" | ascii_downcase

on toUpper (str)
alphabet = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
len = str.length
repeat with i = 1 to len
pos = offset(str.char[i], alphabet)
if pos > 0 then put alphabet.char[pos] into char i of str
end repeat
return str
end
----------------------------------------
-- Upper to lower case (ASCII only)
-- @param {string} str
-- @return {string}
----------------------------------------
on toLower (str)
alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
len = str.length
repeat with i = 1 to len
pos = offset(str.char[i], alphabet)
if pos > 0 then put alphabet.char[pos] into char i of str

my $string = "alphaBETA";
print uc($string), "\n"; # => "ALPHABETA"
print lc($string), "\n"; # => "alphabeta"
$string =~ tr/[a-z][A-Z]/[A-Z][a-z]/; print "$string\n"; # => ALPHAbeta
print ucfirst($string), "\n"; # => "AlphaBETA"
print lcfirst("FOObar"), "\n"; # => "fOObar"
Also works in Perl 4 if the my is removed.
Perl 6[edit]
In Perl 6, case modification is implemented as builtin subroutine or method:
my $word = "alpha BETA" ;
say uc $word; # all uppercase (subroutine call)
say $word.uc; # all uppercase (method call)
# from now on we use only method calls as examples
say $word.lc; # all lowercase
say $word.tc; # first letter titlecase
say $word.tclc; # first letter titlecase, rest lowercase
say $word.wordcase; # capitalize each word
Output:
ALPHA BETA alpha beta Alpha BETA Alpha beta Alpha Beta

There is also a bespoke convertCase function in demo\Edix\Edix.exw which accepts five operators: LOWER, UPPER, CAPITALISE, SENTENCE, and INVERT, which is obviously not part of the language, and a bit too long, messy, ugly, and unedifying, to bother reproducing here.

For German input (considering umlaute) these will uppercase them:
uppercase: /*courtesy Gerard Schildberger */
return translate(changestr("ß",translate(arg(1),'ÄÖÜ',"äöü"),'SS'))
uppercase2: Procedure
Parse Arg a
a=translate(arg(1),'ÄÖÜ',"äöü") /* translate lowercase umlaute */
a=changestr("ß",a,'SS') /* replace ß with SS */
return translate(a) /* translate lowercase letters */
Translation to lowercase is not similarly possible because of 'SS'->'ß' or -> 'ss' ??
Note: Recently an uppercase ß was introduced in Austria. I haven't used it yet.

There are no standard Snobol libraries or case conversion built-ins. But case functions are easy to roll using the character class keywords. Native charset only.

An alternative way of constructing the above that groups related functions together in a denser display:
define('UC(STR)')
define('LC(STR)')
define('UCFIRST(STR)')
define('SWAPC(STR)') :(CASES.END)
UC uc = replace(str,&lcase,&ucase) :(RETURN)
LC lc = replace(str,&ucase,&lcase) :(RETURN)
UCFIRST str len(1) . ch = uc(ch) ; ucfirst = str :(RETURN)
SWAPC swapc = replace(str, &ucase &lcase, &lcase &ucase) :(RETURN)
CASES.END
* # Test and display
str = 'alphaBETA'

Stata[edit]
Use strupper and strlower to change case of ASCII characters. Use ustrupper and ustrlower to change case of all Unicode letters.
. scalar s="alphaBETA"
. di strupper(s)
ALPHABETA
. di strlower(s)
alphabeta
Notice there may be some difficulties with Unicode characters. In the following, the uppercase sigma is correctly converted back to the lowercase variant, but the iota subscript is not.
. scalar a="Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν"
. scalar b=ustrupper(a)
. di b

UNIX Shell[edit]
For System V tr:
echo alphaBETA | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]' # => ALPHABETA
echo alphaBETA | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' # => alphabeta
For BSD tr, GNU tr, or any POSIX system:
echo alphaBETA | tr a-z A-Z # => ALPHABETA
echo alphaBETA | tr A-Z a-z # => alphabeta
System V has a different syntax, and requires square brackets around ranges. Portable scripts can use System V syntax; the other systems handle square brackets as literal characters, translating [ to [ and ] to ], which is harmless.
