@tryingToGetProgrammingStraight Well, in that case I can write a program that is 0 characters long, pretending that everything else somehow is part of the program. Does that feel fair? Now your code works since it almost a verbatim copy of what I wrote, but you are using $ as a variable name. While it is legal, it is a bit confusing since $ mostly is used by libraries like jQuery. I also noticed that you didn't credit me or anyone else for finding bugs in your code.

@some i figured that maybe it could be part of the program (as in my example), but since u commented i added one with prompt and alert as well, i dont see anything wrong with it now.

@tryingToGetProgrammingStraight Somehow you must get the user supplied string into the program, and show the result. When code golfing in javascript the common way is to use prompt and alert. The rules doesn't say anything about it since the rules are language agnostic. If you look at the other answers you will see that they use the equivalent statements to do input/output in their respective languages. So why do you think that you don't need it when writing in javascript?

You need a /g flag for this to work properly.

If you had tested your code, you would have fond that it only converts the first upper case character, not all of them. It's 92 characters, when following the rules: alert(prompt().replace(/[A-Z]/g,function(a){return String.fromCharCode(a.charCodeAt()+32)}))

I think all (or at least most) answers in here read from stdin and print to stdout. From what I gather the convention is to use prompt and alert for I/O in JS.

@C5H8NNaO4 three (1)"(2)char(3)", its already pretty long, and the other answers dont have it. u can test this code if u want to see it run though "TeSt".replace(/[A-Z]/,function($){return String.fromCharCode($.charCodeAt()+32)})

Er, you'd need to wrap the second argument to replace with function($){return ...}, no? By the way, the first param to the replacement function is the matched string, so you could drop the parens in the regex.
