Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

LowerCase( s, rng )

UpperCase( s, rng )

OtherCase( s, rng )

Parameters

s

-

Maple string

rng

-

(optional) integer range

Description

• 

The LowerCase(s) calling sequence changes each alphabetic character in the string s to lowercase and returns the result in a new string. The string s remains unchanged.

• 

The UpperCase(s) calling sequence changes each alphabetic character in the string s to uppercase and returns the result in a new string. The string s remains unchanged.

• 

The OtherCase(s) calling sequence changes each alphabetic character in the string s to the opposite case and returns the result in a new string. The string s remains unchanged.

• 

See StringTools[IsLower] and StringTools[IsUpper] for definitions of lower and uppercase characters.

• 

These commands all accept an optional, second argument rng, a range that specifies a substring of the input s to be affected by the operation. Only characters within the given range are changed.

• 

All of the StringTools package commands treat strings as (null-terminated) sequences of 8-bit (ASCII) characters.  Thus, there is no support for multibyte character encodings, such as unicode encodings.
