How to make string case insensitive?

String s="sololearn"; if(s==sololearn){ //statement 1 } if(s=="SoloLearn"{ //statement 2 } if(s=="Sololearn"{ //statement 3 } if(s=="SoLoLeArN"{ //statement 4 } here in this code only statement one will be executed... but if the string value will be case insensitive then all the statements will be executed. so please explain me what should I do so that all the statement will be executed? I need an answer to this question to modify my following code. https://code.sololearn.com/cKYjRQSB8IL3/?ref=app

I'd force to lowercase before testing: #include <cctype> string lower(string s) { string r = s; for (int i = 0; i < r.length(); i++) r[i] = tolower(r[i]); return r; } if(lower(function)=="log")

in python you can do .lower or .upper but I'm not sure about cpp.

what about using _stricmp? if (_stricmp("SoLoLeArN", s)==0) // statement 4;

just make a copy of that string and translate all letters to lower or uppercase and then compare it

Instead of ( s== "SoloLearn") we use (_stricmp(s,"SoloLearn")==0). In C++ we can create new string class and overwrite == operator using _stricmp.
