help with upper and lower case conversion

[B Williams]

I have written some code that will take in a string and print out the
reverse, but I also want it to check for upper and lower case and swap them.
Will someone assist me?

include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;

#include <string>
using std::string;

#include <algorithm>
using std::reverse;

int main() {
cout << "Enter a string.\n";
string name;
getline(cin, name);
reverse(name.begin(), name.end());
cout << name << '\n';

}

}

I'm not quite sure what you mean, could you provide some sample input
and output? For example should: AbCd turn into dCbA or DcBa?

If I enter BackDrop, and want the program to produce the output PORdKCAb

Daniel,
where would that go in my code?

You didn't really write any of it, did you?

I'm not quite sure what you mean, could you provide some sample
input and output? For example should: AbCd turn into dCbA or DcBa?

If I enter BackDrop, and want the program to produce the output
PORdKCAb

char swapCase( char c )
{
char result = tolower( c );
if ( islower( c ) )
result = toupper( c );
return result;
}

transform( name.begin(), name.end(), name.begin(), &swapCase );

I have to leave something for you to do. :-) The swapCase function can
go anywhere outside of the main function (though if you put it after
'main' or in a different cpp file, you will need to declare it.) The
'transform' line needs to go somewhere between the 'getline' and 'cout
<< name'.

BTW, like 'reverse', 'transform' is a standard algorithm. Here is
another way to write swapCase:

char swapCase( char c ) {
return islower( c ) ? toupper( c ) : tolower( c );
}

The reverse function is in the C++ standard library, so I didn't have to
write it, but I did know enough to get the syntax correct.

Thanks Daniel, I got it to work. I have gotten so much from this NG over the
past year that I was attempting to help someone else. I'm no where the help
person yet.

char swapCase( char c )

char result = tolower( c );
if ( islower( c ) )
result = toupper( c );
return result;
}

Just a note to the OP:

Please be aware that the above or even the concept of "tolower" is
mainly only valid for basic US-ASCII in basic English.

If you eventually get a job in the software industry, please do not
ever make such a simplistic assumption. Billions of lines of code
have had to be rewritten because of assumption that the software would
never need to move outside the 7 bits ASCII character set.

If that's a course assignment, add a disclaimer to your submission.
If I were the teacher, I would add bonus points to whoever points this
out.
