Thread: name program

Let's say i typed in CHRIS
then i want the program to print out Chris
make lower case everyting except first letter of the name
ty

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
char upper(char upper);
char lower(char lower);

int main(void)

{
        string first, middle, last, whole;\
        long number;

        cout <<"\nWhat is your name?\n ";

        cin >> first >> middle;

        if (cin.peek() != '\n')
        {
                cin >>last;
         }
        else
        {
                last = middle;
                middle = "";
        }
        cout << upper(last[0]);


        last = last.substr(1);

        number = 0;
        while (number < last.length())
        {
                last += lower(last[number]);
                number++;
        }



        //whole = last + ',' + first + ' ' + middle[0] + '.';
        cout << whole;





        return 0;
}

        char upper(char upper)
        {
                return toupper(upper);
        }

        char lower(char lower)
        {
                return tolower(lower);
        }

how do i change big case to lower case?

this code is suppose to find all the charcters except first letter of the name
and change to lower case... but it doesnt work...T_T

Code:

  while (number < last.length())
        {
                last += lower(last[number]);
                number++;
        }

This should also do the trick:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <cctype>

using namespace std;

//We have to wrap tolower so that transform can determine its type
char tolower_wrap(char c)
{
	return tolower(c);
}

int main() 
{
	string foo("CHRIS");
	//Use transform to make each char after the first one lowercase
	transform(foo.begin()+1, foo.end(), foo.begin()+1, tolower_wrap);
	//Did it work?
	cout <<foo <<endl;
}

Phahch, mine is way more portable.
