Defined in header <cctype>
int isalnum( int ch );

Checks if the given character is an alphanumeric character according to the current C locale, i.e. either a number (0123456789 in the default locale), an uppercase letter (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ in the default locale), or a lowercase letter (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz in the default locale).

Contents

Parameters

ch - character

Return value

Non-zero value (true) if the character is an alphanumeric character, 0 (false) otherwise.

Example

Demonstrates the use of isalnum() with different locales (OS-specific).

#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
#include <clocale>
 
int main()
{
    const char c = '\xdf'; // German letter ß in ISO-8859-1
 
    std::cout << "isalnum(\'\\xdf\', default C locale) returned "
               << std::boolalpha << (bool)std::isalnum(c) << '\n';
 
    std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "de_DE.iso88591");
    std::cout << "isalnum(\'\\xdf\', ISO-8859-1 locale) returned "
              << std::boolalpha << (bool)std::isalnum(c) << '\n';
 
}

Output:

isalnum('\xdf', default C locale) returned false
isalnum('\xdf', ISO-8859-1 locale) returned true
