character classification macros
SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h>
isalpha(c)
. . .
DESCRIPTION
These macros classify ASCII-coded integer values by table lookup. Each is a predicate returning nonzero for true, zero for false. Isascii
and toascii are defined on all integer values; the rest are defined only where isascii is true and on the single non-ASCII value EOF (see
stdio(3S)).
isalpha c is a letter
isupper c is an upper case letter
islower c is a lower case letter
isdigit c is a digit
isxdigit c is a hex digit
isalnum c is an alphanumeric character
isspace c is a space, tab, carriage return, newline, vertical tab, or formfeed
ispunct c is a punctuation character (neither control nor alphanumeric)
isprint c is a printing character, code 040(8) (space) through 0176 (tilde)
isgraph c is a printing character, similar to isprint except false for space.
iscntrl c is a delete character(0177) or ordinary control character (less than 040).
isascii c is an ASCII character, code less than 0200
tolower c is converted to lower case. Return value is undefined if not isupper(c).
toupper c is converted to upper case. Return value is undefined if not islower(c).
toascii c is converted to be a valid ascii character.

a silly question but is there a way to display individual ascii values
say if i type 65 it will display the letter instead?
thanks fo any help. (3 Replies)
I know that there exists a function that says whether a particular character is ascii or not (i.e, isascii), is there any similar function that can say whether a character is an extended ascii. If possible can i have the internal implementaation of both.
Thanks in advance. (2 Replies)
Hi All,
I require some help with the below:
I am trying to incriment the ascii value of a letter and then print it.
So basically "a" becomes "b" and "z" becomes "A".
Does anyone have any pointers?
Cheers,
