What Is Alternating Case?

Alternating case (also called alternating caps, studly caps, or sarcasm case) is a text style where each letter alternates between lowercase and uppercase. For example: “hElLo WoRlD” or “tHiS iS aLtErNaTiNg CaSe”.

The pattern typically starts with a lowercase letter, then uppercase, then lowercase, and so on — skipping spaces and punctuation.
