Program to toggle all characters in a string

Last Updated : 01 Mar, 2023

Given a string, the task is to toggle all the characters of the string i.e to convert Upper case to Lower case and vice versa.

Examples:

Input  : gfg
Output : GFG

Input  : aBc12#
Output : AbC12#

Input  : tu@kmiNi
Output : TU@KMInI

Traverse the given string, if uppercase characters come, convert into lowercase and lowercase letter convert into uppercase.

Implementation:

C

// C program to toggle all characters
#include <stdio.h>
 
void toggleChars(char str[])
{
    for (int i = 0; str[i] != '\0'; i++) {
        if (str[i] >= 'A' && str[i] <= 'Z')
            str[i] = str[i] + 'a' - 'A';
        else if (str[i] >= 'a' && str[i] <= 'z')
            str[i] = str[i] + 'A' - 'a';
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    char str[] = "GeKf@rGeek$";
    toggleChars(str);
    printf("String after toggle \n");
    printf("%s\n", str);
    return 0;
}

C++

// C++ program to toggle all characters
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
void toggleChars(char str[])
{
    for (int i=0; str[i]!='\0'; i++)
    {
        if (str[i]>='A' && str[i]<='Z')
            str[i] = str[i] + 'a' - 'A';
        else if (str[i]>='a' && str[i]<='z')
            str[i] = str[i] + 'A' - 'a';
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    char str[] = "GeKf@rGeek$";
    toggleChars(str);
    cout << "String after toggle " << endl;
    cout << str << endl;
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to toggle all characters

    for (int i=0; i<str.length; i++)
    {
        if (str[i]>='A' && str[i]<='Z')
            str[i] = (char) (str[i] + 'a' - 'A');
        else if (str[i]>='a' && str[i]<='z')
            str[i] = (char) (str[i] + 'A' - 'a');
    }
}
 
// Driver code 
public static void main(String[] args) 
{
    char str[] = "GeKf@rGeek$".toCharArray();
    toggleChars(str);
    System.out.println("String after toggle ");
    System.out.println(String.valueOf(str));
}

We can use the Bitwise XOR operation to toggle all the characters in given string

As we know the ascii value of small and capital char case is differ by just 1 bit (5th bit). We can simply toggle that bit to toggle the char case of a string.

Implementation:

C

// C program to toggle all characters
#include <stdio.h>
 
void toggleChars(char str[])
{
    for (int i = 0; str[i] != '\0'; i++) {
        if (str[i] >= 65 && str[i] <= 90) {
            str[i] = (char)(str[i] ^ (1 << 5));
        }
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    char str[] = "GeKf@rGeek$";
    printf("String before toggle\n");
    printf("%s\n", str);
    toggleChars(str);
    printf("String after toggle\n");
    printf("%s\n", str);
    return 0;
}

C++

// C++ program to toggle all characters
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
void toggleChars(char str[])
{
    for (int i=0; str[i]!='\0'; i++)
    {
        if (isalpha(str[i])) {
          str[i] = (char)(str[i]^(1<<5));
        }
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    char str[] = "GeKf@rGeek$";
      cout << "String before toggle " << endl;
      cout << str << endl;
    toggleChars(str);
    cout << "String after toggle " << endl;
    cout << str << endl;
    return 0;
