Take the string "alphaBETA", and demonstrate how to convert it to UPPER-CASE and lower-case.
4D
$string:="alphaBETA" $uppercase:=Uppercase($string) $lowercase:=Lowercase($string)
ActionScript
var string:String = 'alphaBETA'; var upper:String = string.toUpperCase(); var lower:String = string.toLowerCase();
Ada
with Ada.Characters.Handling; use Ada.Characters.Handling; with Ada.Text_Io; use Ada.Text_Io; procedure Upper_Case_String is S : String := "alphaBETA"; begin Put_Line(To_Upper(S)); Put_Line(To_Lower(S)); end Upper_Case_String;

This method does the transform in-place. Alternate methods might return a new copy or use a stream manipulator.
/// \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(), 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(), std::tolower); }
here is sample usage code:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { string foo("_upperCas3Me!!"); str_toupper(foo); cout << foo << endl; str_tolower(foo); cout << foo << endl; return 0; }
C#
string array = "alphaBETA"; System.Console.WriteLine(array.ToUpper()); System.Console.WriteLine(array.ToLower());
ColdFusion
converting a string literal
<cfset upper = UCase("alphaBETA")> <cfset lower = LCase("alphaBETA")>
converting the value of a variable
<cfset string = "alphaBETA"> <cfset upper = UCase(string)> <cfset lower = LCase(string)>
Delphi
Compiler: ALL
writeln(uppercase('alphaBETA')); writeln(lowercase('alphaBETA'));
E
["alphaBETA".toUpperCase(), "alphaBETA".toLowerCase()]
Forth
create s ," alphaBETA" s count type s count 2dup upper type s count 2dup lower type
Output:
alphaBETA ALPHABETA alphabeta
IDL
str = "alphaBETA" print, str print, strupcase(str) print, strlowcase(str)
JavaScript
alert( "alphaBETA".toUpperCase() ); alert( "alphaBETA".toLowerCase() );
Output:
ALPHABETA alphabeta
Perl
Interpreter: Perl v5.x
my $string = "alphaBETA"; my $uppercase = uc($string); my $lowercase = lc($string);
Python
s = "alphaBETA" print s.upper() print s.lower()
Ruby
Interpreter: Ruby 1.8
"alphaBETA".downcase # => "alphabeta" "alphaBETA".upcase # => "ALPHABETA" "alphaBETA".swapcase # => "ALPHAbeta"

writeln(upper("alphaBETA")); writeln(lower("alphaBETA"));
