I am writing a hex program and when i convert “paul” to hex it returns as 5041554c when it should return as 7061756c.
Converted, 5041554c outputs PAUL instead of paul because a=A is true. how do i detect if a letter is uppercase?

<[a] > [A]> 

This works for all capital letters.
Just replace the capital A with the letter in question.

What exactly is that supposed to do? Returns false for me no matter the order because a = A in Scratch's arithmetic.

@OP costumes are case sensitive. If you have a costume named “a”, then

switch costume to (join [A] [])

will NOT work. You can use this to detect if a letter is capital by having 26 costumes, all named a different capital letter, plus a bonus costume named anything but a letter.

switch costume to [default v]
switch costume to (letter (x) of (string))
if <(costume [name v] :: looks) = [default]> then
... // letter is lowercase
else
... // letter is uppercase
end

It's tedious but it's the best we got.

You can find a ready-made custom block for case-sensitive comparsion here. It's used like this:

[a] = [a] \(case sensitive\) :: custom
say (result) // true
[a] = [A] \(case sensitive\) :: custom
say (result) // false

Huh, I tested it, but I might've gotten the results from other things.
