Exceptional Condition

Given a file, this Groovy code will check each line of the file to see if it includes an import line, and then return true or false, as appropriate.

unstd::toupper
by in CodeSOD on 2016-09-13C++ is a language with a… checkered past. It’s grown, matured and changed over the decades, and modern C++ looks very little like the C++ of yesteryear. Standard libraries have grown and improved- these days, std feels nearly as big and complicated as parts of Java’s class library.
One useful function is std::toupper. Given a char, it will turn that char into an upper-case version, in a locale-aware fashion. What if you want to turn an entire string to upper-case?
