how to convert character to lowercase c++

To convert a character to lowercase in C++, you can use the tolower function from the <cctype> library. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Include the <cctype> library at the top of your code file:

#include <cctype>

1. Declare a character variable to store the character you want to convert:

char ch = 'A'; // Replace 'A' with the character you want to convert

1. Convert the character to lowercase using the tolower function:

char lowercase_ch = tolower(ch);

The tolower function takes an uppercase character as an argument and returns the corresponding lowercase character. If the character is already lowercase or not an alphabet, it is returned as is.

Here's an example that demonstrates the conversion of a character to lowercase:

#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>

int main() {
    char ch = 'A';
    char lowercase_ch = tolower(ch);

    std::cout << "Original character: " << ch << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Lowercase character: " << lowercase_ch << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

This code will output:

Original character: A
Lowercase character: a

You can replace the value of the ch variable with any character you want to convert to lowercase.
