    Case Sensitive

    How do I make a program that reads an input thats not case sensitive?

    I'm making a password program that I want not to be case sensitive. Can any one shed some light?
    I'm using Bloodsheds Dev-C++ Compiler.

    That's an easy one, read the input however the user types it in and then parse the string to be all upper or lower case.
    Code:
    int main(void){
        char pWord[SIZE];
        
        pWord = cin.getline();
        for(int i = 0; i < SIZE; i++){
            toupper(pWord[i]);
        }
       
        return 0;
    }
    Be sure to include ctype.h in your program or toupper() and tolower() won't work.
    pointer = NULL
