# std::isgraph

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | string‎ | byte

Defined in header `<cctype>` |  |
int isgraph( int ch ); |  |

Checks if the given character is graphic (has a graphical representation) as classified by the currently installed C locale. In the default C locale, the following characters are graphic:

- digits (`0123456789`)
- uppercase letters (`ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ`)
- lowercase letters (`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz`)
- punctuation characters (`!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~`)

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

### Parameters

ch | - | character to classify

### Return value

Non-zero value if the character has a graphical representation character, zero otherwise.

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <cctype>
    #include <clocale>

    int main()
    {
        unsigned char c = '\xb6'; // the character ¶ in ISO-8859-1

        std::cout << "isgraph(\'\\xb6\', default C locale) returned "
                   << std::boolalpha << (bool)std::isgraph(c) << '\n';

        std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_GB.iso88591");
        std::cout << "isgraph(\'\\xb6\', ISO-8859-1 locale) returned "
                  << std::boolalpha << (bool)std::isgraph(c) << '\n';
    }

Output:

    isgraph('\xb6', default C locale) returned false
    isgraph('\xb6', ISO-8859-1 locale) returned true
