java question?

Question

How do you write this program?

The calling program prompts the user for his/her name in capital letters. Write a program which prompts the user for the input and then calls a method to return the name with only the first letter capitalized. You may assume in this case that the user has given you valid input.

Sample input: DEENA
Sample output: Deena

Answer 1

Using inStr to represent your valid String input value...

String capStr = inStr.substring(0,1).toUpperCase() + inStr.substring(1).toLowerCase();

Answer 2

No homework questions, please!

Here's some hints, though...

Look up the java string methods (java.lang.String)
See if there's some useful methods there. (there will be)
You'll want methods to extract a character from a string, and to convert a character or string to uppercase and / or lowercase.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Easy enough...

Create a String object; call it "s"
Accept the input as a string.
Create another String object; call it "d"
d = ( s.substring(0,1)).toUpperCase() + ( s.substring(1)).toLowerCase();

Answer 4

im assuming you use string lengths and charval...not sure if i was talking about basic or java
