This means that if we have a name "Age" and another "age", these are 2 different names. Case sensitive means that the program does not ignore even tiny change.

Case sensitive. The name has the answer, meaning your Upper'case' characters and your Lower'case' characters are different for the compiler. Like @Remmae said: 'Age' and 'age' have a different meaning for the compiler of that language.

the Acsia system or whatever gives the each case of the same letter a different value...'A' is not dealt with as 'a' that is why it is called case sensative....when you are going to study the binary and digit calculations ,you will see the huge differences the cases are causing...

case sensitive: "A" and "a" are two unique letters not case sensitive: "A" and "a" are treated as the same letter

Case sensitive means that a system programming language make difference between the lower-case names and the uppercase names for example Adam is different to adam
