The method toUpperCase() converts all characters of a String to upper case. If no Locale is passed to the method, then it will use the default Locale.

However, it may produce unexpected results if it’s run on a system whose default Locale is different. To avoid this, we can simply pass the Locale to the method.

Available Signatures

public String toUpperCase()
public String toUpperCase(Locale locale)

Example

@Test
public void whenConvertToUpperCase_thenCorrect() {
 String s = "Welcome to Baeldung!";
 
 assertEquals("WELCOME TO BAELDUNG!", s.toUpperCase());
}
