Contents

[edit] Parameters

ch - character
loc - locale

[edit] Return value

Returns true if the character is classified as alphanumeric, false otherwise.

[edit] Possible implementation

template<class CharT>
bool isalnum(CharT ch, const std::locale& loc)
{
    return std::use_facet<std::ctype<CharT>>(loc).is(std::ctype_base::alnum, ch);
}

[edit] Example

Demonstrates the use of isalnum() with different locales (OS-specific).

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
 
int main()
{
    const wchar_t c = L'\u2135'; / mathematical symbol aleph
 
    std::locale loc1("C");
    std::cout << "isalnum('ℵ', C locale) returned "
              << std::boolalpha << std::isalnum(c, loc1) << '\n';
 
    std::locale loc2("en_US.UTF-8");
    std::cout << "isalnum('ℵ', Unicode locale) returned "
              << std::boolalpha << std::isalnum(c, loc2) << '\n';
}

Possible output:

isalnum('ℵ', C locale) returned false
isalnum('ℵ', Unicode locale) returned true
