James Gosling would probably say: Yes, it is case-sensitive. It is this way because of its heritage from C. To keep the language more familiar to what people were used to "in the day", they left it as case-sensitive. There is an added advantage, since Java identifiers can be almost any Unicode character. Short Answer: More possibilities, for one. Hope this helps! Check out my programs and like! -bErN
