Make a string uppercase

Transform "Space Monkey" into "SPACE MONKEY"

python

"Space Monkey".upper()

erlang

io:format("~s~n", [string:to_upper("Space Monkey")]).

clojure

(.toUpperCase "Space Monkey")

cpp

String(L"Space Monkey").ToUpper();

std::string s = "Space Monkey";
std::transform(s.begin(), s.end(), s.begin(), std::toupper);

std::string s = "Space Monkey";
boost::to_upper(s);

fsharp

printfn "%s" ("Space Monkey".ToUpper())

printfn "%s" (String.uppercase "Space Monkey")

Make a string lowercase

Transform "Caps ARE overRated" into "caps are overrated"

python

"Caps ARE overRated".lower()

erlang

io:format("~s~n", [string:to_lower("Caps ARE overRated")]).

clojure

(.toLowerCase "Caps ARE overRated")

cpp

std::string s = "Caps ARE overRated";
std::string sl(boost::to_lower_copy(s));

String(L"Caps ARE overRated").ToLower();

fsharp

printfn "%s" ("Caps ARE overRated".ToLower())

printfn "%s" (String.lowercase "Caps ARE overRated")

Capitalise the first letter of each word

Transform "man OF stEEL" into "Man Of Steel"

python

from string import capwords
capwords("man OF stEEL")

' '.join(s.capitalize() for s in "man OF stEEL".split())

"man OF stEEL".title()

erlang

Caps = string:join(lists:map(fun(S) -> to_caps(S) end, string:tokens("man OF stEEL", " ")), " "),

clojure

(use 'clojure.contrib.str-utils2)
(join " " (map capitalize (split "man OF stEEL" #" ")))

cpp

std::string words = "mAn OF stEEL";
std::transform(words.begin(), words.end(), words.begin(), ToCaps<>());

StringBuilder^ sb = gcnew StringBuilder(L"man OF stEEL");

for (int i = 0, isFirst = 1; i < sb->Length; ++i)
{
sb[i] = Char::IsWhiteSpace(sb[i]) ? (isFirst = 1, sb[i]) : isFirst ? (isFirst = 0, Char::ToUpper(sb[i])) : Char::ToLower(sb[i]);
}

std::string words = "mAn OF stEEL";
std::vector<std::string> swv;

boost::split(swv, words, boost::is_any_of(" "));
std::string newwords = (std::for_each(swv.begin(), swv.end(), StringTAndJ(WordToCaps))).value();

fsharp

let words = String.Join(" ", Array.map (fun (s : String) -> (String.capitalize (s.ToLower()))) ("man OF stEEL".Split [|' '|]))

let wordlst = List.map (fun s -> (String.capitalize (String.lowercase s))) (String.split [' '] "man OF stEEL")
let words = new StringBuilder(List.hd wordlst)
for (s : String) in (List.tl wordlst) do (words.Append(" ").Append(s))

// Previous solutions used old library functions, here's something that works with F# 2.0
let s= "man OF stEEL"
let UpperFirst = function | "" -> "" | s -> s.Substring(0,1).ToUpper() + s.Substring(1).ToLower()
s.Split(' ') |> Array.map UpperFirst |> String.concat " "

let culture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US")
let titleCase = culture.TextInfo.ToTitleCase "man oF sTeel"
