std::ispunct

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

Checks if the given character is a punctuation character as classified by the current C locale. The default C locale classifies the characters !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~ as punctuation.

The behavior is undefined if the value of ch is not representable as unsigned char and is not equal EOF.

Parameters

ch - character to classify

Return value

Non-zero value if the character is a punctuation character, zero otherwise.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
#include <clocale>
 
int main()
{
    unsigned char c = '\xd7'; // the character × (multiplication sign) in ISO-8859-1
 
    std::cout << "ispunct(\'\\xd7\', default C locale) returned "
               << std::boolalpha << (bool)std::ispunct(c) << '\n';
 
    std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_GB.iso88591");
    std::cout << "ispunct(\'\\xd7\', ISO-8859-1 locale) returned "
              << std::boolalpha << (bool)std::ispunct(c) << '\n';
}

Output:

ispunct('\xd7', default C locale) returned false
ispunct('\xd7', ISO-8859-1 locale) returned true
