Test a character to see if it's a lowercase letter
#include <ctype.h> int islower( int c );
libc
Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
The islower() function tests for any lowercase letter a through z.
Nonzero if c is a lowercase letter; otherwise, zero.
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <ctype.h> char the_chars[] = { 'A', 'a', 'z', 'Z' }; #define SIZE sizeof( the_chars ) / sizeof( char ) int main( void ) { int i; for( i = 0; i < SIZE; i++ ) { if( islower( (unsigned)the_chars[i] ) ) { printf( "Char %c is a lowercase character\n", the_chars[i] ); } else { printf( "Char %c is not a lowercase character\n", the_chars[i] ); } } return EXIT_SUCCESS; }
produces the output:
Char A is not a lowercase character Char a is a lowercase character Char z is a lowercase character Char Z is not a lowercase character
