ucfirst

ucfirst(string)

Returns string with the first character converted to uppercase.

Examples

  1. Convert the first character of a string to uppercase:

    julia> ucfirst("hello")
    "Hello"

    It converts the first character of the string "hello" to uppercase, resulting in "Hello".

  2. Handle empty strings:

    julia> ucfirst("")
    ""

    When the input string is empty, the function ucfirst returns an empty string.

  3. Preserve the case of the remaining characters:
    julia> ucfirst("JuLiA")
    "JuLiA"

    The function only converts the first character to uppercase and leaves the remaining characters unchanged.

Common mistake example:

julia> ucfirst(123)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching ucfirst(::Int64)

In this example, the input argument to ucfirst is an integer (123) instead of a string. The ucfirst function expects a string as input, so make sure to provide a valid string argument.
