toLowerCase
ExamplesΒΆThe general syntax for this method is:
stringName.toLowerCase();
This method returns a copy of stringName
with all uppercase letters
replaced by their lowercase counterparts. It leaves non-alphabetic characters
unchanged.
"LaunchCode".toLowerCase();
Output
launchcode
Example
The domain portion of an email address (the portion after the @
symbol) is case-insensitive. Emails with domain launchcode.org
are the same as those with domain LAUNCHCODE.ORG
. By convention, the all-lowercase version is typically used by an application.
This program standardizes an email address by converting it to all lowercase characters.
let input = "[email protected]";
let email = input.toLowerCase();
console.log(email);
Output
Warning
This example is a bit crude, since the portion of an email address before
the @
symbol is allowed to be case-sensitive. When standardizing the
case of an email in a real application, we would want to be more precise and
only convert the domain portion to lowercase characters.
