Subject: Dysfunctional contest
Write a function to convert a string to lower case
Do not use lcase()
Example:
<cffunction name="toLowerCase" access="public" output="false"
returnType="string">
<cfargument name="src" type="string" required="yes">
<cfset var result = "">
<cfloop from="1" to="#len(arguments.src)#" step="1" index="pos">
<cfset thisChar = mid(arguments.src,pos,1)>
<cfif asc(thisChar) gte 65 and asc(thisChar) lte 90>
<cfset result &= chr(asc(thisChar)+32)>
<cfelse>
<cfset result &= thisChar>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfreturn result />
</cffunction>
PRIZE: Respect for writing incredibly convoluted code, or lack of respect
for having time to waste on such inanity
Alternatively, write your own convoluted function for something similarly
simple.
