Use Character.toUpperCase to convert the first letter to upper case.

//package com.book2s;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        String str = "book2s.com";

    public static String capitalize(String str) {
        if (isEmpty(str))
            return str;
        char[] cs = str.toCharArray();
        cs[0] = Character.toUpperCase(cs[0]);
        return new String(cs);
    }

    public static boolean isEmpty(String str) {
        return str == null || str.length() == 0;
