I will give my best to provide you the easiest way of creating this program Count Uppercase and Lowercase in a string. So let's do the coding.

Before we get started:

This is the link for the template that i used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple interface to our application. This code will only display textbox and button for submission. To create this simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.html.
  1. <!DOCTYPE html>
  2. <html lang="en">
  3. <head>
  4. <meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
  5. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css" />
  6. </head>
  7. <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
  8. <div class="container-fluid">
  9. <a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
  10. </div>
  11. </nav>
  12. <div class="col-md-3"></div>
  13. <div class="col-md-6 well">
  14. <h3 class="text-primary">How to Count Cases in a String using JavaScript</h3>
  15. <hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
  16. <div class="col-md-5">
  17. <div class="form-group">
  18. <label>Enter a word</label>
  19. <input type="text" id="text" class="form-control" />
  20. </div>
  21. <button class="btn btn-primary" onclick="countCases();">Count</button> <button class="btn btn-success" onclick="clearStr();">Clear</button>
  22. </div>
  23. <div class="col-md-7">
  24. <div id="result"></div>
  25. </div>
  26. </div>
  27. <script src="script.js"></script>
  28. </body>
  29. </html>

Creating JavaScript Function

This is where the main function of the application is. This code will count the total cases within a string when submitted. To do this just copy and write these block of codes inside the text editor and save it as script.js.
  1. function countCases() {
  2. let str = document.getElementById('text').value;
  3. let upper=0
  4. let lower=0;
  5. let len=str.length;
  6. for(var i=0;i<len;i++){
  7. if(/[A-Z]/.test(str.charAt(i))){
  8. upper++;
  9. }else{
  10. lower++;
  11. }
  12. }
  13.  
  14. document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = "<h1 style='font-size:20px;'>UPPER CASE: <span class='text-primary' style='font-size:30px:'>"+upper+"</span></h1><h1 style='font-size:20px;'>LOWER CASE: <span class='text-primary' style='font-size:30px:'>"+lower+"</span></h1>";
  15. }
  16.  
  17. function clearStr(){
  18. document.getElementById('text').value = "";
  19. document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = "";

In the code above we just simply create a method called countCase(), this function will count the total Uppercase and Lowecase within a string. The trick here is that we just need to look up for all the Uppercase letter in a string. We just simply use a conditional statement with an argument that regex the matching for all available Uppercase in the string. Otherwise the match didn't return anything this will display the result for the Lowercase.
