std::iswalpha - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

Checks if the given wide character is an alphabetic character, i.e. either an uppercase letter (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ), a lowercase letter (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz) or any alphabetic character specific to the current locale.

If the value of ch is neither representable as a wchar_t nor equal to the value of the macro WEOF, the behavior is undefined.

[edit] Parameters

[edit] Return value

Non-zero value if the wide character is an alphabetic character, 0 otherwise.

[edit] Notes

ISO 30112 specifies which Unicode characters are include in POSIX alpha category.

[edit] Example

Possible output:

in the default locale, iswalpha(0xb83) = false in Unicode locale, iswalpha(0xb83) = true
