I have some dynamic strings which might contain numeric characters too. E.g. 1sFw23fD
. I want to convert all letters in this string to capitals. That is I want to convert 1sFw23fD
into 1SFW23FD
. For that, I am using toUpperCase()
method. What I am not sure is how is toUpperCase()
supposed to work on numeric and alphanumeric character. Is it safe to use "1sFw23fD".toUpperCase()
?
As explained in answer, that numbers aren't affected by these methods. Plz give some reference that mentions such as w3c spec or mdn etc. Cheers.
Yes. As defined in http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-properties-of-the-string-prototype-object , it just replaces characters that have a representing uppercase/lowercase value in the Unicode table. And that shouldnt be wrong...:
"For each code point c in cpList, if the Unicode Character Database provides a language insensitive lower case equivalent of c then replace c in cpList with that equivalent code point(s)."
