Returns a character or string in uppercase.


Input
Takes a single char as input.
Can take a single char or a String as input.


Usage
Used for validation (e.g., checking letter case).

Method in
Part of the Character class.
Part of the Character and String classes.




Examples
isUpperCase() Example


public class IsUpperCaseExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        char ch = 'A';
        if (Character.isUpperCase(ch)) {
            System.out.println(ch + " is an uppercase letter.");
        } else {
            System.out.println(ch + " is not an uppercase letter.");
        }
    }
}



  Output:  


A is an uppercase letter.


toUpperCase() Example
With a Single Character:


public class ToUpperCaseExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        char ch = 'a';
        char upper = Character.toUpperCase(ch);
        System.out.println("Uppercase: " + upper);
    }
}


  Output:  


Uppercase: A


  With a String::  


public class ToUpperCaseStringExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str = "hello";
        String upperStr = str.toUpperCase();
        System.out.println("Uppercase String: " + upperStr);
    }
}


  Output:  


Uppercase String: HELLO
