# altERnaTIng cAsE <=> ALTerNAtiNG CaSe

Define `String.prototype.toAlternatingCase` (or a similar function/method *such as* `to_alternating_case`/`toAlternatingCase`/`ToAlternatingCase` in your selected language; **see the initial solution for details**) such that each lowercase letter becomes uppercase and each uppercase letter becomes lowercase. For example:
``` haskell
toAlternatingCase "hello world" `shouldBe` "HELLO WORLD"
toAlternatingCase "HELLO WORLD" `shouldBe` "hello world"
toAlternatingCase "hello WORLD" `shouldBe` "HELLO world"
toAlternatingCase "HeLLo WoRLD" `shouldBe` "hEllO wOrld"
toAlternatingCase "12345"       `shouldBe` "12345"
toAlternatingCase "1a2b3c4d5e"  `shouldBe` "1A2B3C4D5E"
```
```C++
string source = "HeLLo WoRLD";
string upperCase = to_alternating_case(source);
cout << upperCase << endl; // outputs: hEllO wOrld
```
As usual, your function/method should be pure, i.e. it should **not** mutate the original string.
