Manipulating Strings
I'm new to c# and am learning online, I'm currently trying to wrap my head around Substrings and using different methods to manipulate strings, currently I'm stuck trying to use .ToUpper() on an existing variable, that is also composed of other variables. Example in image Thanks!
tldr; I need to use the .ToUpper() method on the cameraDirections variable

What exactly is your problem here?
Why cant you just call
ToUpper on that string?Im just not sure where I put it on the actual string, or if I have to specify it in the previous variables?
Ok what exactly is your goal here? Can you post the exact final output you expect?
It's for a lesson, I'll post the question
I think I have it right, with just using cameraDirections = cameraDirection.ToUpper() to convert that to upper, however I'm not sure if theres a more efficient way to do it?
The code on the right is your code correct?
Yeah
Strings in C# are immutable. Meaning you cannot change the actual string itself, just creating new ones.
So what you want to do is extract the parts you want to change, change them and then rebuild the full string.
You are more or less doing it, but I guess your input should be the original unmodified string. Without any
ToUpper mixed in there like you did.
There are ways of doing this more efficient, but you should not worry about that right now.Yeah okay, thanks that makes sense to me, To me this just feel dumb to do this way, if I wanted to search for "Close on" In capitalized letters I would just type is as "CLOSE ON" instead of converting it....but the question wants me to do it that way, it just threw me for a bit of a loop, but i'll just continue through the question cause it's more or less correct. Thank you for your help!
The idea would be, that you have a full script, 300+ pages long.
Now you want to convert all the camera directions and positions into the case you prefer.
It's way faster writing code for you to do that.
What you got there is just the bases for doing it.
Yeah, that makes sense when you put it like that, its hard understanding without someone to actually explain why im doing it or somewhere where it could be used :KEKW:. Thanks again
