function template
<locale>
std::isalnum
template <class charT> bool isalnum (charT c, const locale& loc);
Check if character is alphanumeric using locale
Checks whether c is an alphanumeric character using the ctype facet of locale loc, returning the same as if ctype::is is called as:
1
|
use_facet < ctype<charT> > (loc).is (ctype_base::alnum, c)
|
This function template overloads the C function isalnum (defined in <cctype>).
Parameters
- c
- Character to be checked.
- loc
- Locale to be used. It shall have a ctype facet.
The template argument charT is the character type.
Return Value
true if indeed c is an alphanumeric character.
false otherwise.

// isalnum example (C++)
#include <iostream> // std::cout
#include <string> // std::string
#include <locale> // std::locale, std::isalnum
int main ()
{
std::locale loc;
std::string str = "c3po...";
std::string::size_type i=0;
while ( (i<str.length()) && (std::isalnum(str[i])) ) {++i;}
std::cout << "The first " << i << " characters are alphanumeric.\n";
return 0;
}
|
Output:
The first 4 characters are alphanumeric.
|
Data races
Both loc and its ctype facet are accessed.
Exception safety
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no effects.
