What is UPPERCASE?
UPPERCASE — also called all caps — converts every letter to its capital form. Digits, spaces and punctuation are left exactly as they are; only cased letters change.
UPPERCASE examples
- hello world example → HELLO WORLD EXAMPLE
- Warning: disk almost full → WARNING: DISK ALMOST FULL
- sale ends friday → SALE ENDS FRIDAY
Where is UPPERCASE used?
All caps is the natural style for acronyms (NASA, HTML, FAQ), headings and banners, warning and legal text, and short bursts of emphasis. Long passages in all caps are harder to read and can feel like shouting, so it works best in small doses.
UPPERCASE in programming
Uppercase text appears in code as well: constants and environment variables use CONSTANT_CASE, which is UPPERCASE with underscores instead of spaces — use the dedicated converter linked below when you need that form.
