Let's take an example. In Non case-sensitive language, my_Variable and MY_VARIABLE are the same, for instance, whereas in case-sensitive language, it exists a difference between this two names.

Most modern programming languages are case sensitive. HTML and SQL are not. Pranav Pratap Singh has a good list.

Viktor Bócz Case sensitivity means treating UPPER CASE ALPHABETS and lower case alphabets different. That is just like Théophile said "my_Variable and MY_VARIABLE are same in NOT case sensitive language"

Case sensitive language means that variable names of different cases (upper/lower case) are pointed to 2 different things. Languages like Java and C++ are case sensitive. For example,if i use C++: int number =3; cout<<Number; //this will cause an error as Number with an uppercase 'N' isnt declared.

Case sensitive language simply means that it treats lowercase and uppercase character differently.. Eg:Hello is not equal to hello

Well, for example, Java is case sensitive because for example: - a variable "myhouse" is different from the variable "myHouse". A case sensitive programming language is basically a language that takes into consideration uppercase and lowercase letters.

C++, PHP, ans son and it means using the words or numbers may be capital or small because it might cause an error.

In python, for example, some_variable and SOME_Variable are different variables, that's why Python is case-sensitive language.
