Swap case of characters in a string
Uppercase lowercase letters and lowercase the rest.
function swapCase(text) { return Array.from(text).map(char => char === char.toLowerCase() ? char.toUpperCase() : char.toLowerCase()).join(''); }
Input & expected output

"hELLO wORLD"The edge case

- Case mapping can change length: ß uppercases to SS.
The function above is the implementation used by the lab. The lab validates JSON types and caps size before execution; include equivalent validation when accepting untrusted input in your application.
