template< class charT > bool islower( charT ch, const locale& loc ); |
Checks if the given character is classified as a lowercase alphabetic character by the given locale's std::ctype facet.
Parameters
| ch | - | character |
| loc | - | locale |
Return value
Returns true if the character is classified as lowercase, false otherwise.
Possible implementation
template< class charT >
bool islower( charT ch, const std::locale& loc ) {
return std::use_facet<std::ctype<charT>>(loc).is(std::ctype_base::lower, ch);
} |
Example
Demonstrates the use of islower() with different locales (OS-specific).
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
int main()
{
const wchar_t c = L'\u03c0'; // greek small letter pi
std::locale loc1("C");
std::cout << "islower('π', C locale) returned "
<< std::boolalpha << std::islower(c, loc1) << '\n';
std::locale loc2("en_US.UTF8");
std::cout << "islower('π', Unicode locale) returned "
<< std::boolalpha << std::islower(c, loc2) << '\n';
}Output:
islower('π', C locale) returned false
islower('π', Unicode locale) returned trueSee also
