Detect Capital Problem & Solution

We define the usage of capitals in a word to be right when one of the following cases holds:

  • All letters in this word are capitals, like "USA".
  • All letters in this word are not capitals, like "leetcode".
  • Only the first letter in this word is capital, like "Google".

Given a string word, return true if the usage of capitals in it is right.

See the detect capital problem on LeetCode.

C++ Solution

#pragma GCC optimize("Ofast")
#pragma GCC optimization("unroll-loops")

static const int _=[](){ios::sync_with_stdio(false);cin.tie(nullptr);cout.tie(nullptr);return 0;}();

class Solution {
public:
  bool detectCapitalUse(string word) {
    bool uppercase = true;
    bool lowercase = true;
    bool sentencecase = true;
    for (int i = 0; i < word.size(); ++i) {
      uppercase &= word[i] >= 'A' && word[i] <= 'Z';
      lowercase &= word[i] >= 'a' && word[i] <= 'z';
      sentencecase &= i == 0
        ? word[i] >= 'A' && word[i] <= 'Z'
        : word[i] >= 'a' && word[i] <= 'z';
    }

    return uppercase || lowercase || sentencecase;
  }
};
