S and s are different.. That is case sensitive. Depending upon Uppercase and lowercase​.. var X and var x are different

Case sensitive is the difference between upper and lower cases 👍🏻

Case sensitive means taking the case type (uppercase and lowercase) into consideration when we do a string comparison. For example, we have 4 string variables here. // all lowercase var stringA = "this is a text"; // mix of lowercase and uppercase var stringB = "This is a Text"; // all uppercase var stringC = "THIS IS A TEXT"; // all uppercase var stringD = "THIS IS A TEXT"; print(stringA == stringB); // false print(stringB == stringC); // false print(stringC == stringD); // true

When writing code a computer sees the value of a capital letter, A for example, as an ASCII value of 65, but to know whether an "A" or lower case "a" the lower case "a" has to be given a different ascii value. I believe it's 97. This is why case sensitive is important in needs to know which ascii value you require 65, or 97.
