ispunct
From cppreference.com
Defined in header <ctype.h>
|
||
int ispunct( int ch ); |
||
Checks if the given character is a punctuation character in the current C locale. The default C locale classifies the characters !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~
as punctuation.
The behavior is undefined if the value of ch
is not representable as unsigned char and is not equal to EOF.
Parameters
ch | - | character to classify |
Return value
Non-zero value if the character is a punctuation character, zero otherwise.
Example
Run this code
#include <stdio.h> #include <ctype.h> #include <locale.h> int main(void) { unsigned char c = '\xd7'; // the character × (multiplication sign) in ISO-8859-1 printf("In the default C locale, \\xd7 is %spunctuation\n", ispunct(c) ? "" : "not " ); setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_GB.iso88591"); printf("In ISO-8859-1 locale, \\xd7 is %spunctuation\n", ispunct(c) ? "" : "not " ); }
Output:
In the default C locale, \xd7 is not punctuation In ISO-8859-1 locale, \xd7 is punctuation
