Checks if the given character is an alphanumeric character as classified by the current C locale. In the default locale, the following characters are alphanumeric:
0123456789
)ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
)abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
)The behavior is undefined if the value of ch is not representable as unsigned char and is not equal to EOF.
[edit] Parameters ch - character to classify [edit] Return valueNon-zero value if the character is an alphanumeric character, 0
otherwise.
Like all other functions from <cctype>, the behavior of std::isalnum
is undefined if the argument's value is neither representable as unsigned char nor equal to EOF. To use these functions safely with plain chars (or signed chars), the argument should first be converted to unsigned char:
bool my_isalnum(char ch) { return std::isalnum(static_cast<unsigned char>(ch)); }
Similarly, they should not be directly used with standard algorithms when the iterator's value type is char or signed char. Instead, convert the value to unsigned char first:
int count_alnums(const std::string& s) { return std::count_if(s.begin(), s.end(), // static_cast<int(*)(int)>(std::isalnum) // wrong // [](int c){ return std::isalnum(c); } // wrong // [](char c){ return std::isalnum(c); } // wrong [](unsigned char c){ return std::isalnum(c); } // correct ); }[edit] Example
Demonstrates the use of std::isalnum
with different locales (OS-specific).
#include <cctype> #include <clocale> #include <iostream> int main() { unsigned char c = '\xdf'; // German letter à in ISO-8859-1 std::cout << "isalnum(\'\\xdf\', default C locale) returned " << std::boolalpha << static_cast<bool>(std::isalnum(c)) << '\n'; if (std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "de_DE.iso88591")) std::cout << "isalnum(\'\\xdf\', ISO-8859-1 locale) returned " << static_cast<bool>(std::isalnum(c)) << '\n'; }
Possible output:
isalnum('\xdf', default C locale) returned false isalnum('\xdf', ISO-8859-1 locale) returned true[edit] See also ASCII values characters
