Assuming c is a char containing a letter, if (c < 'a') // it's uppercase else // it's lowercase Not really sure what you mean by not using ASCII values though...

As an alternative you can also use isalpha() function, which returns 1 for uppercase, 2 for lowercase, or zero if the character is non alphabetical. int cc = isalpha(chr); switch(cc) { case 1: printf("Uppercase"); break; case 2: printf("Lowercase"); break; default: printf("Non alphabetical"); }

Oh, so don't use hardcoded ASCII values in numeric form. I had doubts about the meaning of that because, technically char literal 'a' is the same as 97 or 0x61, and in the if statement ASCII value of c is compered with the literal be it 'a', 97 or 0x61. Anyway, you can always use char literals instead of the numeric values. Like in: if (c >= '0' && c <= '9') // it's a digit else if (c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') // it's lowercase letter else if (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z') // it's uppercase letter // and so on...

in java to check if character is caps use syntax - Character.is UpperCase() to change into caps use - Charactet.ToUpperCase()
