C library function - isgraph()



Description

The C library function int isgraph(int c) checks if the character has graphical representation.

The characters with graphical representations are all those characters that can be printed except for whitespace characters (like ' '), which is not considered as isgraph characters.

Declaration

Following is the declaration for isgraph() function.

int isgraph(int c);

Parameters

  • c − This is the character to be checked.

Return Value

This function returns non-zero value if c has a graphical representation as character, else it returns 0.

Example

The following example shows the usage of isgraph() function.

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

int main () {
   int var1 = '3';
   int var2 = 'm';
   int var3 = ' ';
    
   if( isgraph(var1) ) {
      printf("var1 = |%c| can be printed\n", var1 );
   } else {
      printf("var1 = |%c| can't be printed\n", var1 );
   }
   
   if( isgraph(var2) ) {
      printf("var2 = |%c| can be printed\n", var2 );
   } else {
      printf("var2 = |%c| can't be printed\n", var2 );
   }
   
   if( isgraph(var3) ) {
      printf("var3 = |%c| can be printed\n", var3 );
   } else {
      printf("var3 = |%c| can't be printed\n", var3 );
   }
   
   return(0);
}

Let us compile and run the above program to produce the following result −

var1 = |3| can be printed
var2 = |m| can be printed
var3 = | | can't be printed
