   * @description : Below is the test class details
   * 
   * inputs a String from a user. Expect the String to contain spaces and    alphanumeric     characters only.
   * capitalizes all first letters of the words in the given String.
   * preserves all other characters (including spaces) in the String.
   * displays the result to the user.
   * 
   * Approach : I have followed a simple approach. However there are many string    utilities available 
   * for the same purpose. Example : WordUtils.capitalize(str) (from apache commons-lang)

试试这个非常简单的方法

示例givenString="ram是好孩子"

public static String toTitleCase(String givenString) {
    String[] arr = givenString.split(" ");
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

    for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        sb.append(Character.toUpperCase(arr[i].charAt(0)))
            .append(arr[i].substring(1)).append(" ");
    }          
    return sb.toString().trim();
}  

输出将是:公羊是好孩子

worddutil .capitalize(str) (from apache common -text)

(注意:如果你需要“fOO BAr”变成“fOO BAr”，那么用大写的(..)代替)

//如此简单和基本

public void capalizedFirstCharOne(String str){
    char[] charArray=str.toCharArray();
    charArray[0]=Character.toUpperCase(charArray[0]);
    for(int i=1;i<charArray.length;i++){
        if(charArray[i]==' ' ){
            charArray[i+1]=Character.toUpperCase(charArray[i+1]);
        }
    }

    String result=new String(charArray);
    System.out.println(result);
}
