// Char.IsPunctuation(String, Int32) Method
using System;

class GFG {

    // Main Method
    static public void Main()
    {

        // Declaration of data type
        bool result;

        // checking for punctuation
        // in a string at specific location
        string str1 = "GeeksforGeeks";
        result = Char.IsPunctuation(str1, 2);
