If you read the Prologue section of the code I posted it will give you an explanation of what I am trying to accomplish with this program.
The problem I am having is that I am unable to find an example of how to pass an argument through the string class using charAt(). what i am looking to do is for every index value of the string Name that is > 0 i want to pass the command toLowercase() but my method is obviously wrong. Below is the debugging tool output
C:\Users\peter\Desktop\CSC 111\welch_lab3\Welch_lab3.java:44: illegal start of expression
Index2 = Name.charAt(>0).toLowerCase(); // puts all char after index value 0 to lowercase
^
1 error
Tool completed with exit code 1
