What is the string lower-case method in Clojure?

Overview

A string is a sequence of characters enclosed in double quotation marks ("").

One of the methods used to work with strings in Clojure is the string lower-case.

What is the string lower-case?

The string lower-case method converts all characters of a string to the lower case.

Syntax

(lower-case s)
String lower-case syntax

Parameter

The string lower-case method accepts one parameter.

  • s: This is the string in the syntax above.

Return value

This method returns a string with all characters in the lower case. Let's see an example.

Example

(ns clojure.examples.hello
   (:gen-class))
(defn EXAMPLE []
   (println (clojure.string/lower-case "Educative"))
   (println (clojure.string/lower-case "EDUCATIVE")))
(EXAMPLE)

Code explanation

Line 3: We define a function EXAMPLE.

Line 4: We convert the string Educative to educative using the lower-case string method. We nested the clojure.string using the dot notation. This shows that the lower-case method is a core string method of Clojure.

Line 5: We convert EDUCATIVE to educative using the same method as in Line 4.

Line 6: We call our EXAMPLE function.
