How to check if a string is all upper or lower case in Go?
One solution is to use strings.ToUpper()/ToLower() and compare with the original string. This works for the punctuation case as well.
Here's the solution:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
)
func main() {
s := "UPPERCASE"
fmt.Println(strings.ToUpper(s) == s)
s = "lowercase"
fmt.Println(strings.ToUpper(s) == s)
s = "lowercase"
fmt.Println(strings.ToLower(s) == s)
s = "I'M YELLING AT YOU!"
fmt.Println(strings.ToUpper(s) == s)
}
You can of course compare the upper and lower cased strings in their entirety, or you can short-circuit the comparisons on the first failure, which would be more efficient when comparing long strings.
func IsUpper(s string) bool {
for _, r := range s {
if !unicode.IsUpper(r) && unicode.IsLetter(r) {
return false
}
}
return true
}
func IsLower(s string) bool {
for _, r := range s {
if !unicode.IsLower(r) && unicode.IsLetter(r) {
return false
}
}
return true
}
