Isn't snake_case supposed to add underscore only if there is any space in the string? I think snake_case conversion of myExampleInput should just give myexampleinput as the output (which is what we are getting in this instance).

I think op interpretation is closer to what a dev would expect. Just as snake case would add underscore for a space, pascal/ camel would remove space and add/ convert to capital letter.

Using that train of thought, converting camel/ pascal to snake should add an underscore in place where the space would've been and demote the capital letter. I mean that would be the entire reason/ intention of why I would send a pascal through a snake converter - vs just sending the pascal through a toLowerCase() function.
