Converting a char to uppercase

Question

String lower = Name.toLowerCase();
int a = Name.indexOf(\" \",0);
String first = lower.substring(0, a);
String last = lower.substring(a+1);
char f = first.charAt(0);         


        

Answer 1

You can use Character#toUpperCase() for this.

char fUpper = Character.toUpperCase(f);
char lUpper = Character.toUpperCase(l);

It has however some limitations since the world is aware of many more characters than can ever fit in 16bit char range. See also the following excerpt of the javadoc:

Note: This method cannot handle supplementary characters. To support all Unicode characters, including supplementary characters, use the toUpperCase(int) method.
