JavaScript: Test whether the character at the provided character index is upper case

JavaScript String: Exercise-43 with Solution

Is Character Uppercase

Write a JavaScript function to test whether the character at the index provided is upper case.

Test Data:
console.log(isUpperCaseAt('Js STRING EXERCISES', 1));
false

Visual Presentation:

Sample Solution:

JavaScript Code:

// Function to check if the character at a specified index in a string is uppercase
function isUpperCaseAt(str, index) {
    // Check if the character at the specified index, converted to uppercase,
    // is equal to the character at the specified index
    return str.charAt(index).toUpperCase() === str.charAt(index);
}
// Log the result of calling the isUpperCaseAt function with the input string 'Js STRING EXERCISES' and index 1
console.log(isUpperCaseAt('Js STRING EXERCISES', 1));

Output:

false

Explanation:

In the exercise above,

• The function "isUpperCaseAt()" takes two parameters: 'str' (the input string) and 'index' (the index of the character to check).
• Inside the function, it uses the "charAt()" method to retrieve the character at the specified index in the string.
• It then uses the "toUpperCase()" method to convert the character to uppercase.
• Finally, it compares this uppercase character to the original character at the specified index. If they are equal, it means the character at that index was originally uppercase.
• The function returns 'true' if the character at the specified index is uppercase, and 'false' otherwise.
