If you ever wondered why there are so many programming languages, look no further than the the many ways to convert a string to lower case. Almost every language has a core function to make a string lowercase, yet there seems to be pressure to come up with a distinct name for the function:
| Function Name | Languages |
|---|---|
| LCase() | ColdFusion / CFML, ASP, Visual Basic |
lower()
| SQL, Python |
|
| toLowerCase() | Java, JavaScript, ActionScript |
| strtolower() | PHP |
| tolower() | ANSI C/C++ |
| toLower() | C# |
| downcase | Ruby |
| lower-case() | XQuery |
| lowercaseString | Objective C / NSString |
| lc() | Perl |
Are there any other lowercase functions out there that you know of?
