Case sensitivity

Text sometimes exhibits case sensitivity; that is, words can differ in meaning based on differing use of uppercase and lowercase letters. Words with capital letters do not always have the same meaning when written with lowercase letters. For example, :

The opposite term of "case-sensitive" is "case-insensitive".

Use in computer systems

In computers, some examples of usually case-sensitive data are:

Some computer languages are case-sensitive for their identifiers (C, C++, Java, C#, Verilog,Ruby and XML). Others are case-insensitive (i.e., not case-sensitive), such as Ada, most BASICs (an exception being BBC BASIC), Fortran, SQL and Pascal. There are also languages, such as Haskell, Prolog and Go, in which the capitalization of an identifier encodes information about its semantics.

Case Sensitive (TV series)

Case Sensitive is a British crime drama series broadcast on ITV, based on the best-selling books by Sophie Hannah. Two series of the programme, starring Olivia Williams and Darren Boyd, have been produced, adapting the novels The Point of Rescue and The Other Half Lives. The first episode was broadcast on May 2, 2011. Both series were issued on DVD on July 16, 2012. A third series was subsequently proposed, but production has yet to begin.

Plot

The first series focuses on DS Charlie Zailer (Olivia Williams) and DC Simon Waterhouse (Darren Boyd) as they investigate the double murder of a mother and their five-year-old child. This series was based on the novel The Point of Rescue. Guest stars in this series include Rupert Graves, Amy Beth Hayes and Christina Chong. Episode one drew a strong overnight viewing audience of 5.4 million viewers.

Series two involves the team dealing with the murder of a man who recently admitted to abusing a former girlfriend. This series was based on the novel The Other Half Lives. The main cast of Williams, Boyd, Wight and Ineson all returned for this series. Viewing figures were once again strong, drawing a similar audience to series one.
