I saw a code snippet yesterday in one of the responses here on StackOverflow that intrigued me. It was something like this:
List<string> myList = new List<string> {"aBc", "HELLO", "GoodBye"}; myList.ForEach(d=>d.ToLower()); I was hoping I could use it to convert all items in myList to lowercase. However, it doesn't happen... after running this, the casing in myList is unchanged.
So my question is whether there IS a way, using LINQ and Lambda expressions to easily iterate through and modify the contents of a list in a manner similar to this.
Thanks, Max

Use the str. lower() Function and a for Loop to Convert a List of Strings to Lowercase in Python. The str. lower() method is utilized to simply convert all uppercase characters in a given string into lowercase characters and provide the result.
In C#, ToLower() is a string method. It converts every character to lowercase (if there is a lowercase character). If a character does not have a lowercase equivalent, it remains unchanged. For example, special symbols remain unchanged.
Simply use the Python string lower() method to convert every element in a list of strings into lowercase. It will convert given into lowercase letters in Python.
Easiest approach:
myList = myList.ConvertAll(d => d.ToLower()); Not too much different than your example code. ForEach loops the original list whereas ConvertAll creates a new one which you need to reassign.
