isalnum
—alphanumeric character predicate#include <ctype.h> int isalnum(int c);
Description
isalnum
is a macro which classifies ASCII integer values by table
lookup. It is a predicate returning non-zero for alphabetic or
numeric ASCII characters, and 0
for other arguments. It is defined
only if c is representable as an unsigned char or if c is EOF.
You can use a compiled subroutine instead of the macro definition by
undefining the macro using `#undef isalnum
'.
Returns
isalnum
returns non-zero if c is a letter (a
–z
or
A
–Z
) or a digit (0
–9
).
Portability
isalnum
is ANSI C.
No OS subroutines are required.
