I think the task must explicitly refer to an encoding to use. I guess it is should be ASCII or else 8-bit Latin-1. If not, as in the case of a more or less full Unicode, changing the case would require some further definitions, see Unicode case mappings. --Dmitry-kazakov 10:18, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I think the idea was to use the default encoding for a string variable. The hope was probably to show string functions built in to languages. Maybe we could specify to use the encoding of a string literal? --Mwn3d 12:03, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

That sounds reasonable. However I think that the task reader would rather expect something else, e.g. an advise how to capitalize a string, which is another and quite non-trivial task. --Dmitry-kazakov 12:21, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
