C++ Program to Convert Lowercase to Uppercase
In this article, you will learn and get code on lowercase to uppercase conversion of both character and string in C++. The program is created with and without using library function. Here are the list of programs available over here:
- Lowercase Character to Uppercase Conversion without using Library Function
- Program to deal with an invalid Input
- Lowercase String to Uppercase without Library Function, strupr()
- Using Library function strupr()
Note - Here lowercase and uppercase character actually means lowercase/uppercase alphabet character.
Lowercase Character
An alphabet character written in small letter say c is called as lowercase alphabet character. The ASCII values of all the 26 lowercase alphabet (a-z) are 97-122. That is, ASCII value of a is 97, b is 98, c is 99 and so on.
Uppercase Character
An alphabet character written in capital letter say C is called as uppercase alphabet. The ASCII values of all the 26 uppercase alphabet (A-Z) are 65-90. That is, ASCII value of A is 65, B is 66, C is 67 and so on.
Lowercase and Uppercase String
If all alphabet characters of a string written in small letter, then the string can be called as lowercase string. For example, codescracker. Whereas, if all alphabet characters of a string written in capital letter, then the string can be called as uppercase string. For example, CODESCRACKER
C++ Lowercase Character to Uppercase
Let's create the program that receives an alphabet character (in lowercase) from user at run-time. Now convert & prints the equivalent uppercase value of the given (entered) character (in lowercase) without using library function
The question is, write a program in C++ that converts lowercase character entered by user to its equivalent uppercase character. Here is the answer to this question.
#include<iostream> using namespace std; int main() { char chLower, chUpper; int ascii; cout<<"Enter the Character: "; cin>>chLower; ascii = chLower; ascii = ascii-32; chUpper = ascii; cout<<"\nUppercase: "<<chUpper; cout<<endl; return 0; }
This program was build and run under Code::Blocks IDE. Here is its sample run:
Now supply character input (in lowercase) say c and press ENTER
key to see its equivalent
value in uppercase as shown in the snapshot given below:
From above program, the statement:
ascii = chLower;
initialized the ASCII value of character stored in chLower, to ascii. Because, chLower is of char (character) type variable, whereas ascii is of int (integer) type variable, therefore the ASCII value (integer) of chLower gets initialized to ascii.
For example, if user enters c as lowercase alphabet character input, then c gets stored in chLower and its ASCII value 99 gets initialized to ascii
Note - Because the ASCII value of A (capital letter) is 65. Whereas the ASCII value of a (small letter) is 97. The difference between both ASCII values is 32. Therefore, on subtracting 32 from the ASCII value of lowercase alphabet character gives you the ASCII value of equivalent alphabet character in uppercase.
So the statement,
ascii = ascii-32;
initializes ascii-32 or 99-32 or 67 to ascii. So the new value of ascii is 67. And 67 is the ASCII value of C (capital letter)
Therefore the statement given below:
chUpper = ascii;
initializes the character value whose ASCII value is 67. That will be C. So chUpper = C. Now print the value of chUpper.
What if User enters an Invalid Input ?
To deal with an invalid input, received by user (at run-time) like:
- a number
- a special character
- or an uppercase character
Then, here is another program to deal with these types of inputs:
#include<iostream> using namespace std; int main() { char chLower, chUpper; int ascii; cout<<"Enter the Character: "; cin>>chLower; if(chLower>='a' && chLower<='z') { ascii = chLower; ascii = ascii-32; chUpper = ascii; cout<<endl<<chLower<<" in Uppercase: "<<chUpper; } else if(chLower>='A' && chLower<='Z') cout<<"\nAlready in Uppercase"; else cout<<"\nInvalid Input!"; cout<<endl; return 0; }
Here is its sample run with user input d:
Here is another sample run with user input D:
And here is the last sample run with user input 3:
C++ Lowercase String to Uppercase
Now let's convert lowercase string received by user to its equivalent uppercase string. Because string is a combination of characters, therefore we have to convert all the characters (available in string) one by one to uppercase as shown in the program given below:
#include<iostream> #include<stdio.h> using namespace std; int main() { char strLower[50], strUpper[50]; int ascii, i=0, chk=0; cout<<"Enter the String: "; gets(strLower); while(strLower[i]!='\0') { if(strLower[i]>='a' && strLower[i]<='z') { ascii = strLower[i]; ascii = ascii-32; strUpper[i] = ascii; chk++; } else strUpper[i] = strLower[i]; i++; } strUpper[i]='\0'; if(chk==0) cout<<"\nString is already in Uppercase"; else cout<<"\nUppercase of String: "<<strUpper; cout<<endl; return 0; }
Here is its sample run with user input This is CodesCracker:
Using Library Function strupr()
This the last program that uses library function strupr(). The function takes string as its argument and converts it into its equivalent uppercase string. The function is defined in string.h header file.
#include<iostream> #include<stdio.h> #include<string.h> using namespace std; int main() { char str[50]; cout<<"Enter the String: "; gets(str); cout<<"\nUppercase of String: "<<strupr(str); cout<<endl; return 0; }
This program produces the same output as of previous one.
