isalnum
From cppreference.com
| Defined in header <ctype.h>
|
||
| int isalnum( int ch ); |
||
Checks if the given character is an alphanumeric character as classified by the current C locale. In the default locale, the following characters are alphanumeric:
- digits (
0123456789) - uppercase letters (
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ) - lowercase letters (
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz)
The behavior is undefined if the value of ch is not representable as unsigned char and is not equal to EOF.

Non-zero value if the character is an alphanumeric character, 0 otherwise.
[edit] Example
Demonstrates the use of isalnum() with different locales (OS-specific).
Run this code
#include <stdio.h> #include <ctype.h> #include <locale.h> int main(void) { unsigned char c = '\xdf'; // German letter ß in ISO-8859-1 printf("isalnum('\\xdf') in default C locale returned %d\n", !!isalnum(c)); setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "de_DE.iso88591"); printf("isalnum('\\xdf') in ISO-8859-1 locale returned %d\n", !!isalnum(c)); }
Output:
isalnum('\xdf') in default C locale returned 0
isalnum('\xdf') in ISO-8859-1 locale returned 1[edit] See also
