NAME¶

std::iswdigit - std::iswdigit

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <cwctype>
int iswdigit( wint_t ch );

Checks if the given wide character corresponds (if narrowed) to one of the ten
decimal digit characters 0123456789.

If the value of ch is neither representable as a wchar_t nor equal to the value of
the macro WEOF, the behavior is undefined.

Parameters¶

ch - wide character

Return value¶

Non-zero value if the wide character is a numeric character, zero otherwise.

Notes¶

std::iswdigit and std::iswxdigit are the only standard wide character classification
functions that are not affected by the currently installed C locale.

Example¶

Some locales offer additional character classes that detect non-ASCII digits

// Run this code

#include <clocale>
#include <cwctype>
#include <iostream>

void test(wchar_t a3, wchar_t u3, wchar_t j3)
{
std::wcout << std::boolalpha
<< "\t '" << a3 << "' '" << u3 << "' '" << j3 << "'\n"
<< "iswdigit: "
<< (bool)std::iswdigit(a3) << " "
<< (bool)std::iswdigit(u3) << " "
<< (bool)std::iswdigit(j3) << '\n'
<< "jdigit: "
<< (bool)std::iswctype(a3, std::wctype("jdigit")) << ' '
<< (bool)std::iswctype(u3, std::wctype("jdigit")) << ' '
<< (bool)std::iswctype(j3, std::wctype("jdigit")) << '\n';
}

int main()
{
wchar_t a3 = L'3'; // the ASCII digit 3
wchar_t u3 = L'三'; // the CJK numeral 3
wchar_t j3 = L'３'; // the full-width digit 3

std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
std::wcout << "In American locale:\n";
test(a3, u3, j3);

std::wcout << "\nIn Japanese locale:\n";
std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "ja_JP.utf8");
test(a3, u3, j3);
}

Possible output:¶

In American locale:
'3' '三' '３'
iswdigit: true false false
jdigit: false false false

In Japanese locale:
'3' '三' '３'
iswdigit: true false false
jdigit: false false true
