Defined in header <ctype.h>
int isgraph( int ch );

Checks if the given character has a graphical representation, i.e. it is either a number (0123456789), an uppercase letter (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ), a lowercase letter (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz), or a punctuation character(!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~), or any graphical character specific to the current C locale.

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 (true) if the character has a graphical representation character, 0 (false) otherwise.

Example

Run this code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <limits.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    for (int ndx=0; ndx<=UCHAR_MAX; ndx++)
        if (isgraph(ndx)) printf("%c", ndx);
    printf("\n");
 
    return 0;
}

Output:

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