Lowercase

Sometimes abbreviated as LC, lowercase is a typeface of small characters. For example, a, b, and c is lowercase and A, B, and C is uppercase.

Using the lc command

Many programming and scripting languages use the lc command to convert a variable into lowercase. For example, in the example below is how the lc command can be used in Perl.

my $example = "HELLO WORLD";
$example = lc($example);

In the above example the $example variable is first set as all lowercase. The second line makes the text all lower case.
