String toUpperCase method is used to converts all characters in a given string to upper case. String has 2 toUpperCase methods.
|
1 2 3 |
public String toUpperCase() public String toUpperCase(Locale locale) |
The first method takes a default Locale for converting the String to upper case, while in the second method we can explicitly give a Locale for the String to convert to upper case.
Lets see an example that covers both these methods.
