    What is the meaning of case sensitive?

    Question #86218. Asked by joanne_karol. (Sep 21 07 9:58 PM)

    		A case-sensitive program that expects you to enter all commands in uppercase will not respond correctly if you enter one or more characters in lowercase. It will treat the command RUN differently from run. Programs that do not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase are said to be case-insensitive.

    Polish (of or from the Country Poland)

    versus

    polish (to shine or buff using a wax or like substance)
