How do I make the first letter of a string uppercase in JavaScript?

Question

How do I make the first letter of a string uppercase, but not change the case of any of the other letters?

For example:

• \"this is a test\"

Answer 1

function capitalize(s) {
    // returns the first letter capitalized + the string from index 1 and out aka. the rest of the string
    return s[0].toUpperCase() + s.substr(1);
}


// examples
capitalize('this is a test');
=> 'This is a test'

capitalize('the Eiffel Tower');
=> 'The Eiffel Tower'

capitalize('/index.html');
=> '/index.html'
