Implementing toLowercase()

Many languages are case sensitive, so there should be difference between uppercase and lowercase letters. The ASCII value difference between uppercase and lower case letters in alphabet is 32.

Uppercase A has ASCII value 65 in decimal .So for Z ,the value is 90 in decimal.

Lowercase a has ASCII value 97 in decimal .So for z ,the value is 122 in decimal.

class Solution {
    public String toLowerCase(String str) {
        char[] chars = str.toCharArray();
        for(int i=0; i<=chars.length-1;i++){
            chars[i] = (char) ((chars[i] >= 65 && chars[i] <= 90) ? chars[i] + 32 : chars[i]); 
        }
        return String.valueOf(chars);
    }
}

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(1)
