isalpha - test for alphabetic character

&pagelevel(4)&pagelevel

Syntax

#include <ctype.h>

int isalpha(int c);

Description isalpha() tests whether the character c is a letter.

In all cases, the argument c is an int, the value of which must be representable as an
unsigned char or must equal the value of the macro EOF. If the argument c has any other
value, the behavior is undefined.

Return val.

!= 0

0

Letter

Not a letter

Notes

isalpha() is implemented both as a function and as a macro. To generate a function call,
the definition of the macro name must be first undefined (#undef isalpha).

The behavior of isalpha() is determined by the classes alpha and digit of the current
locale. The current locale is the C locale, unless it was explicitly changed using
setlocale().
