Changing the Case of a String
When manipulating text, it’s often important to be able to change letters from upper- to lowercase and back again.
To capitalize strings:
- Type translate(.
- Then, type the expression which contains the source string.
- Next, type , 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' (that is; a comma, a space, and the string which contains the letters to change).
- Then, type , 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST UVWXYZ' (that is; a comma, a space, and the string which contains the letters that you want to replace from Step 3).
- Finally, type ) to complete the function (Figure 4.18).
