When I use if/else I want the if to be case-insensitive. So instead of having to type "What's Up", "what's up", "What's up", "What's UP", et cetera, I can make it case insensitive and only use one variation of "what's up".

Make everything lower case or uppercase and compare or use a native case-insensitive function for camparison (if available). – m02ph3u5 Aug 23 '15 at 18:14

Convert the string to lower case (or upper case), and then compare:
>>> s = "What's Up"
>>> s.lower() == "What's up".lower()

In any language, just make the text entered to be lowercase first and then compare it in the if/else block.
In java, you can store the value in a string and use the equalsIgnoreCase() method to compare values in if/else block.
Go to this link: equalsIgnoreCase
Search for equalsIgnoreCase() method on this page
Check below link:
case insensitive String comparison for Python
Hope this helps
