This one's easy Smile There's a method of every String object called "toUpperCase". So if you wanted to turn a variable called 'userInput' to all caps, it would be:

code:
userInput = userInput.toUpperCase();


Hope that helps Smile

Ooh. You're trying to write your OWN 'toUpperCase' method? Shoulda said so =) I'd help you, but this sounds awfully like a homework question Wink So instead, I'll post some psuedo-code to get you started. This will NOT compile.. it's just the program in regular english.

code:

for (length of the input (x)){
character (x) of the input becomes UpperCase
}


Easy, right? Smile
