Java Character isLowerCase() Method

The isLowerCase(char ch) method of Character class determines whether the given(or specified) character is a lowercase character or not.

A character is considered to be a lowercase character if the general category given by Character.getTyper(char ch) is a LOWERCASE_LETTER or it has some contributory properties.

Syntax

Parameter

ch: It is the character that needs to be tested.

Return Value

The isLowerCase(char ch) method returns a Boolean value i.e. true if the given(or specified) character is in lowercase. Otherwise, the method returns false.

Example 1

import java.util.Scanner;
public class JavaChracterisLowerCaseExample1{
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Ask the user for the first input.
	 System.out.print("Enter the first character:");	
   // Use the scanner class to get the user input.
	Scanner s1 = new Scanner(System.in);
   // Gets a single character.
	char value1 = s1.nextLine().toCharArray()[0];
   // Check whether the user input is in lower case or not.
	boolean check1 = Character.isLowerCase(value1);
   // Print the first result.
	if(check1){
	System.out.print("The first character \'"+value1+"\' is in lower case.\n");
		}
		else{
	System.out.print("The first character \'"+value1+"\' is not in lower case.\n");
            }	
         System.out.print("Enter the second character:");	
	Scanner s2 = new Scanner(System.in);
	char value2 = s2.nextLine().toCharArray()[0];
	boolean check2 = Character.isLowerCase(value2);
	if(check2){
	System.out.print("The second character \'"+value2+"\' is in lower case.\n");
		}
		else{
	System.out.print("The second character \'"+value2+"\' is not in lower case.\n");
            }	
        }
    }

Output:

Enter the first character:H
The first character 'H' is not in lower case.
Enter the second character:h
The second character 'h' is in lower case.

      String str2 = "The second character '"+ch2+"' is in lower case: " + b2;
      String str3 = "The third character '"+ch3+ "' is in lower case: " + b3;
      String str4 = "The fourth character '"+ch4+ "' is in lower case: " + b4;
      // Print the values of b1, b2, b3 and b4.
      System.out.println( str1 );
      System.out.println( str2 );
      System.out.println( str3 );

Java Character isLowerCase() Method

The isLowerCase(int codePoint) method of character class determines whether the given(or specified) character is a lowercase character or not.

A character is considered to be a lowercase character if the general category given by Character.getTyper(int codePoint) is a LOWERCASE_LETTER or it has some contributory properties.

Syntax

Parameters

codePoint: It is the codePoint which is the character that needs to be tested.

Return Value

The isLowerCase(int codePoint) method returns a Boolean value, i.e., true if the given(or specified) character is in lowercase. Otherwise, the method returns false.

Example 1

public class JavaCharacterIsLowerCaseExample1 {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Create four char primitives codePoint1, codePoint2, codePoint3 and codePoint4.
      int codePoint1;
      int codePoint2;
      int codePoint3;
      int codePoint4;
      // Assign the values to codePoint1, codePoint2, codePoint3 and codePoint4.
      codePoint1 = 77;
      codePoint2 = 116;
      codePoint3= 198;
      codePoint4 = 102;
      // Create four boolean primitives b1, b2, b3 and b4.
      boolean b1, b2, b3,b4;
      // Check whether the codePoint1, codePoint2, codePoint3 and codePoint4  are letters or digits or not and assign the results to b1, b2, b3 and b4.
      b1 = Character.isLowerCase(codePoint1);
      b2 = Character.isLowerCase(codePoint2);
      b3 = Character.isLowerCase(codePoint3);
      b4 = Character.isLowerCase(codePoint4);

      String str1 = "The first codePoint  '"+codePoint1 + "' is in lowercase: " + b1;
      String str2 = "The second codePoint '"+codePoint2 + "' is in lowercase: " + b2;
      String str3 = "The third codePoint  '"+codePoint3 + "' is in lowercase: " + b3;
      String str4 = "The fourth codePoint '"+codePoint4 + "' is in lowercase: " + b4;
      // Print the values of str1, str2, str3 and str4.
      System.out.println(str1);
      System.out.println(str2);
      System.out.println(str3);
      System.out.println(str4);
   }
}

Test it Now

Output:

The first codePoint  '77' is in lowercase: false
The second codePoint '116' is in lowercase: true
The third codePoint  '198' is in lowercase: false
The fourth codePoint '102' is in lowercase: true

Example 2

public class JavaCharacterIsLowerCaseExample2 {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      // Create two int primitives cp1 and cp2.
      int cp1, cp2;
      // Assign the values to cp1 and cp2.
      cp1 = 0x0045;
      cp2 = 0x0f89;
      // Create two boolean primitives b1 and b2.
      boolean b1, b2;
      b1 = Character.isLowerCase(cp1);
      b2 = Character.isLowerCase(cp2);
      String str1 = "The first character represents as a lowercase character: " + b1;
      String str2 = "The second character represents as a lowercase character: " + b2;
      // Print the values of b1 and b2.
      System.out.println( str1 );
      System.out.println( str2 );
     }
  }

Output:

The first character represents as a lowercase character: false
