There are several String functions available.

They assist when working with variables or fields of the String data type.

When working with strings, these different case types can be encountered -

  • Sentence case is where most major and minor words are lowercase - except for the first letter of the forst word in the text, and proper nouns that are always capitalized.

  • Proper case is where every word starts with a capital letter.

  • Title case is where major words are capitalized, and most minor words are lowercase.

  • Uppercase is where all sored are capitalized.

  • Lowercase is where all words are lowercase.

  • Camel case is often used as a naming convention in computer programming, and is a way of separating the words in a phrase, by capitalizing the first letter of each word and not using spaces. It is named after camels because the capital letters resemble the humps on a camel's back - they go up and down.
