   char* str;                    //pointer to string
   public:
   String(char* s)               //constructor, one arg
   {
      int length = strlen(s);    //length of string argument
      str = new char[length+1];  //get memory
      strcpy(str, s);            //copy argument to it
   }
   ~String()                     //destructor
   { delete str; }

   while( *ptrch )                  //until null,
   {
      *ptrch = toupper(*ptrch);     //uppercase each character
      ptrch++;                      //move to next character
