what is ment by case sensitive?

Answer 1

It matters whether or not you capitalize letters.

Answer 2

Text sometimes exhibits case sensitivity, that is, words can differ in meaning based on the differing use of uppercase and lowercase letters. Words with capital letters don't always have the same meaning as words with lowercase letters.

This is relevant e.g. with regard to:

* usernames
* passwords
* commands
* variable names
* web page addresses
* when the user applies a search function to search for a text string

Some computer languages are case sensitive (Java, C++, and C), while others are case insensitive (ie not case sensitive), for example BASIC, Pascal and ASP.

Often, computer passwords are case sensitive and computer user names are not, which can be confusing for the inexperienced user. Passwords are often made case sensitive to make them harder to guess, whereas making usernames harder to guess or remember is not an advantage.

It takes more work for a program to ignore case when comparing data, depending on the data being compared. Usually it suffices in text coded in character sets like ASCII or EBCDIC to merely convert the comparand and the data temporarily to one case and then compare, however it becomes far more challenging in a multi-lingual environment, e.g., using Unicode, since case-conversion rules differ between some languages; for example, in German the uppercase form for the sharp s ("ß") is "SS".

Case insensitive operations are sometimes said to fold case, from the idea of folding the character code table so that upper and lower case letters coincide. The alternative smash case is more likely to be used by someone who considers this behaviour a misfeature or in cases where one case is actually permanently converted to the other.

Answer 3

When entering a name or password, some systems insist on you matching the text in upper and lower case exactly. Other systems are insensitive to this, to permit you to freely enter the letters in a mixture of upper and lower case.

Case Sensitive
Sosgez is not the same as SOSGEZ or SOsgez

Case insensitive
Sosgez = SOSGEZ = sOSGEZ etc

Answer 4

Some passwords are case sensitive and if you don't type your password precisely then you will not be allowed access.

For instance if your password is GREAtefellow, its no good you typing greaTEfellow. To achieve access you have to enter GREAtefellow, as the password is case sensitive.

Answer 5

i think case sensitive means security only u know your password and the way its done eg Dog with a capital d or dog without that's case sensitive

Answer 6

Case sensitive describes a program's ability to distinguish between uppercase (capital) and lowercase (small) letters.
A case-sensitive program that expects you to enter all commands in uppercase will not respond correctly if you enter one or more characters in lowercase. It will treat the command RUN differently from run. Programs that do not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase are said to be case-insensitive.

Answer 7

On your keyboard, Upper Case is Capital Letters,, Lower case is small letters, so you need to put a capital of a capital and small letter for a small letter. Easy int it.

Answer 8

UPPER CASE IS CAPITALS
lower case is small letters.
If a code is case sensitive you have to type in the right T/t.
eg
AnSWer is not the same as aNSweR.

Answer 9

'Case Sensitive' .....in relationship to Horoscopes?

'Case Sensitive,' in the only terms I know of, have to do with 'Passwords' (or Codes) where "Im Not Here" - for example, has to be typed as it is typed above, for it to work.

Does that work for you?
