“Case sensitive” is a term indicating that text is sensitive to letter case, meaning it distinguishes between uppercase and lowercase letters.

We’ll see how it works in practice by looking at the situations below:

Case Sensitive

texto is different from Texto, because the second word starts with a capitalized consonant.

Case Insensitive

texto is the same as Texto, there is no distinction between letter cases.

A related concept joins words and capitalizes the letters at the beginning of each word, called CamelCase.
