[Dev-C++] How to apply tolower for just one letter of a word?

[Alexsandro M. <ale...@ho...>]

Hi, dev-c++ users,

I have a very basic question I can't solve. I want to upper the first letter 
of a sentence. For example I have: "john is tall". I want to turn this into 
"John is tall". How do I do that?

Thanks in advance!

Alexsandro.

Depends on how you store the name.

If it is a C string.

    str[0] = toupper(str[0]);

If it is a std::string you might do:

    std::string str = "hello world";
    str[0] = toupper(str[0]);

or you might try something fancy and use transformations:

    struct ToUpper {
        char operator() (char c) const { return std::toupper(c); }
    };

    ...

    std::string str = "hello world";

    std::transform(str.begin(),str.end(),str.begin(),ToUpper());

to convert the full string to upper case.
