Sorry to bug everyone who's finished. I suck at this stuff. Can someone tell me what we use to determine whether a character in a line is a capital letter (some kind of string?)

Also, what is the web site for the comsci newsgroup.

responses mucho appreciendo.

Course newsgroup link is:

About seeing if a character is upper case, try thinking of what the capital letters are bounded by (sorry if I sound too much MAT137)

lol... i did it that way too, but there's also another way, something called IsUpperCase in the character class...

check the ever useful blue-book... the computer science equivalent of a black book...

[bladehunter]

;D

Looks like we're on the same boat, Blue

I'm just worried that they will take off marks for style if I did it that way instead of using the Character class methods.

For some strangeass reason I keep getting told by the compiler that I can't run a method on a character. It's just one of the ways CW brights up my life.

I had the same prob, do u have something like
Character.somemethod();

bladehunter: they weren't really specific on what they wanted, so if they complain about style, complain right back at them... - the key word to repeat is VAGUE...  ;D

make sure you don't confuse the object Character with the type char... methinks they're not interchangeable... (unsure... but somewhat sure)

if that's not the case, then maybe you have to refer to the Character class when running certain (not all) methods...

I'm gonna check out that IsUpperCase way of doing the program, but I'm curious what you guys mean by Capital letters being bounded) (I know from A - Z, and that's about it).  

[Brutal_Chicken]

Well inside the "if" I converted the original string into a capitalized form then compared an index to what the original string had. Easier to see intuitively than using some method that most of us haven't heard of yet.

[Majin_Blues]

so you're using string?

that might be it... maybe you could be interchanging strings with char somewhere in the middle...

and Achilles: by bounded, well... you know chars have a value right?  they can be seen as letters but they are numeric values too...

e.g.  
char A = 'a'
char B = A + 2

it'll end up with B = 'c'... (a isn't just a letter, but it can also be a value as a char)
