isspace
From cppreference.com
| Defined in header <ctype.h>
|
||
| int isspace( int ch ); |
||
Checks if the given character is either
- A standard white-space character:
- Space (0x20, ' '),
- Form feed (0x0c, '\f'),
- Line feed (0x0a, '\n'),
- Carriage return (0x0d, '\r'),
- Horizontal tab (0x09, '\t'),
- Vertical tab (0x0b, '\v'),
- Or a locale-specific white-space character.
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 if the character is a whitespace character, zero otherwise.
Example
Run this code
Output:
0x09 0x0a 0x0b 0x0c 0x0d 0x20
