isdigit, iswdigit, _isdigit_l, _iswdigit_l

Determines whether an integer represents a decimal-digit character.

Syntax

int isdigit(
   int c
);
int iswdigit(
   wint_t c
);
int _isdigit_l(
   int c,
   _locale_t locale
);
int _iswdigit_l(
   wint_t c,
   _locale_t locale
);

Parameters

c
Integer to test.

locale
The locale to use.

Return value

Each of these routines returns nonzero if c is a particular representation of a decimal-digit character. isdigit returns a nonzero value if c is a decimal digit (0 - 9). iswdigit returns a nonzero value if c is a wide character that corresponds to a decimal-digit character. Each of these routines returns 0 if c doesn't satisfy the test condition.

The versions of these functions that have the _l suffix use the locale that's passed in instead of the current locale for their locale-dependent behavior. For more information, see Locale.

The behavior of isdigit and _isdigit_l is undefined if c isn't EOF or in the range 0 through 0xFF, inclusive. When a debug CRT library is used and c isn't one of these values, the functions raise an assertion.

Generic-text routine mappings

TCHAR.H routine	_UNICODE and _MBCS not defined	_MBCS defined	_UNICODE defined
_istdigit	isdigit	_ismbcdigit	iswdigit
_istdigit_l	_isdigit_l	_ismbcdigit_l	_iswdigit_l

Remarks

By default, this function's global state is scoped to the application. To change this behavior, see Global state in the CRT.
