Newbie Gotcha toLowerCase Locale error.

Show all headers | View raw

You might inadvertently try writing some code like this:

String lower = String.toLowerCase( upper );
// should be
String lower = upper.tolowerCase();

The compiler will complain about incompatibility with the Locale type.
What is going on? You have inadvertently used the String.toLowerCase(
Locale locale ) method. What you meant to use was
String.toLowerCase(). "String." was taken to mean "this."
