Declaration

Below is the declaration of the isalpha() function.

int isalpha(int c);

Return Value

If c is a letter, the function returns a non-zero value; otherwise, it returns 0.

Example

The following example demonstrates the usage of the isalpha() function.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

int main()
{
   int var1 = 'd';
   int var2 = '2';
   int var3 = '\t';
   int var4 = ' ';
    
   if( isalpha(var1) )
   {
      printf("var1 = |%c| 是一个字母\n", var1 );
   }
   else
   {
      printf("var1 = |%c| 不是一个字母\n", var1 );
   }
   if( isalpha(var2) )
   {
      printf("var2 = |%c| 是一个字母\n", var2 );
   }
   else
   {
      printf("var2 = |%c| 不是一个字母\n", var2 );
   }
   if( isalpha(var3) )
   {
      printf("var3 = |%c| 是一个字母\n", var3 );
   }
   else
   {
      printf("var3 = |%c| 不是一个字母\n", var3 );
   }
   if( isalpha(var4) )
   {
      printf("var4 = |%c| 是一个字母\n", var4 );
   }
   else
   {
      printf("var4 = |%c| 不是一个字母\n", var4 );
   }
   
   return(0);
}

Let us compile and run the above program, which will produce the following result:

var1 = |d| 是一个字母
var2 = |2| 不是一个字母
var3 = | | 不是一个字母
var4 = | | 不是一个字母
