EXAMPLE OF isalum() builtin function in C++

• Syntax
o This function is used to check weather the entered character is alphanumeric
(means alphabet of number) or not and returns 1 or 0 according to the condition
o int isalnum(int c);

Code:
1. #include<iostream>
2. using namespace std;
3. #include <ctype.h>
4. int main ()
5. {
6. char ch;
7. cout<<"\n\tEnter any character : ";
8. cin>>ch;
9. if( isalnum(ch) )
10. cout<<"\n\tCharacter : "<<ch<<" is Alphanumeric"<<endl;
11. else
12. cout<<"\n\tCharacter : "<<ch<<" is Not Alphanumeric"<<endl;

EXAMPLE OF iscntrl() builtin function in C++

• Syntax

• This function checks if the passed character is a control character.

• According to standard ASCII character set, control characters are between ASCII codes
0x00 (NUL), 0x1f (US), and 0x7f (DEL). Specific compiler implementations for certain
platforms may define additional control characters in the extended character set (above
0x7f).
• int iscntrl(int c)

Code:
1. #include<iostream>
2. using namespace std;
3. #include <ctype.h>

4. int main ()
5. {
6. //example 1
7. string ch ="";
8. if( iscntrl(ch[0]) )
9. cout<<"\n\t"<<ch<<" is Control character"<<endl;
10. else
11. cout<<"\n\t"<<ch<<" is Not Control character"<<endl;
12. //example 2
13. string st="I am programmer ";
14. if( iscntrl(st[0]) )
15. cout<<"\n\t"<<st<<" is Control character"<<endl;
16. else
17. cout<<"\n\t"<<st<<" is Not Control character"<<endl;
18. return 0;
19. }

EXAMPLE OF isgraph() and isprint() FUNCTION in C++

• SYNTAX
o Both functions have same functionality
o This function int isgraph(int c) checks if the character has graphical
representation.
o The characters with graphical representations are all those characters that can be
printed except for whitespace characters (like ' '), which is not considered as
isgraph characters.

CODE:
1. #include<iostream>
2. using namespace std;
3. #include <ctype.h>
4. int main () {
a. char ch='A'; //example 1
5. if( isgraph(ch) || isprint(ch))
6. cout<<"\n\tCharacter : "<<ch<<" can be printed"<<endl;
7. else
8. cout<<"\n\tCharacter : "<<ch<<" can't be printed"<<endl;
9. //example 2
i. ch=' ';
10. if( isgraph(ch) || ispint(ch))
11. cout<<"\n\tCharacter : "<<ch<<" can be printed"<<endl;
12. else
13. cout<<"\n\tCharacter : "<<ch<<" can't be printed"<<endl;
14. return 0;
