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

Since you know the chars are lower case, you can subtract the according ASCII value to make them uppercase:

char a = 'a';
a -= 32;
System.out.println("a is " + a); //a is A

Here is an ASCII table for reference
