A DEF block function that takes in a strings and turns all lower-case english letters in a string and makes them capital. Made for comparing strings without case-sensitivity.

Instructions:

Copy the DEF block into any program to any program to use ALLCAPS$() as a normal function. Syntax: ALLCAPS$(String to convert)

Notes:

Changelog Version 1.0.0 (K5V438QE) Initial release. Version 1.1.0 (4KA34413) Fixed a glitch that kept "y" and "z" from being capitalized.

This is awesome. I've been meaning to write one of these, but haven't had the time. I might very well put this to use parsing lines in Lowerdash. Begone contains$("dict") OR contains$("DICT") !

The common name for such a function is 'toupper'. Just sayin'.

Crap, you're right.

Simple, to the point! I like it! Suggestion for the next version: change the function names to a more standardized UPPER$(S$), and also add LOWER$(S$) because why not :)

I think this belongs in "resources"

UCASE$(string$) and LCASE$(string$) are the standard functions (from qbasic, which SmileBASIC is mostly based of (for example, MOD))

Here's code for LCASE$() 
DEF LCASE$(T$)
FOR I=0TO LEN(T$)-1
IF ASC(T$[I])>64AND ASC(T$[I])>91THEN
T$=SUBST$(T$,I,1,CHR$(ASC(T$[I])-32))
ENDIF
NEXT
RETURN T
END

SmileBASIC is influenced more by BASIC dialects used in Japanese retro computers, so comparing to qbasic isn't that accurate, I don't think. I'm pretty sure MOD is not s distinctive feature.

I guess so... But UCASE$ is a more intuitive command.

UPPER$ could be misinterpreted

Well yeah, in C++. It's UCASE$ or UPPER$ in BASIC

It took me a while to realize that "toupper" was "to upper"...

A function called upper that supposedly returns a string type. Hm... I bet it moves text up one console line.

With the new system, libraries go under programs.

Probably returns the upper half of each character

Try using the variable J instead of I, then accessing element number J will not be misinterpreted as a 'begin italics' markup.
