How to set string[] to uprercase? - Azazelo - 12.12.2012

Any function to set string[] to uppercase?

Is there any default funcion for this ?

stock uppercase(string[])
{
    for(new i=0; i<strlen(string); i++) 
    {
        string[i] = toupper(string[i]);
    }
    return string;
}

What would be the optimal to put there, then? I'm just curious.

I could have sworn the compiler gave an indeterminate array size error last time I tried something like this.

Anyways, is this any better?

pawn Код:

stock uppercase(string[])
{
    for(new i=0; i<sizeof string; i++) 
    {
        string[i] = toupper(string[i]);
    }
    return string;
}

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ****** again.

pawn Код:

stock uppercase(string[])
{
    for(new i=0; i<(sizeof(string)); i++)
    {
        string[i] = toupper(string[i]);
    }
    return string;
}

when i try use "sizeof"

Quote:

indeterminate array size in "sizeof" expression

This will do:

pawn Код:

stock uppercase(string[])
{
    for(new i=0; i<strlen(string); i++)
    {
        string[i] = toupper(string[i]);
    }
    return string;
}

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to VincentDunn again.
****** Thanks
VincentDunn Thanks

Are you doing ++i just for user preference, or is it actually faster to do that instead of i++ ?

++C ??

I highly doubt there is a speed difference, but if there was, the difference would be far beyond human comprehension.

but the differences in code however are as follows.

pawn Код:

main()
{
    new 
        a = 10, 
        b = 10;

    printf("A with pre-increment: %d", ++a);
    printf("A after pre-increment: %d", a);

    printf("B with post-increment: %d", b++);
    printf("B after post-increment: %d", b);    
}

prints out

Код:

[18:19:14] A with pre-increment: 11
[18:19:14] A after pre-increment: 11
[18:19:14] B with post-increment: 10
[18:19:14] B after post-increment: 11

++x is basically like adding 1 to the variable before executing the line
x++ is basically like adding 1 to the variable after executing the line
