iswgraph() in C/C++ with Examples

The iswgraph() is a built-in function in C/C++ which checks if the given wide character has a graphical representation or not. It is defined within the cwctype header file of C++. By default, the following characters are graphic:

• Digits (0 to 9)
• Uppercase letters (A to Z)
• Lowercase letters (a to z)
• Punctuation characters (!”#$%&'()*+, -./:;?@[\]^_`{|}~)

Syntax:

int iswgraph(ch)

Parameter: The function accepts a single mandatory parameter ch which specifies the wide character which we have to check that if it has a graphical representation or not. Return Value: The function returns two values as shown below.

• If the ch has a graphical representation character, then a non-zero value is returned.
• If it is not a graphical representation character, then 0 is returned.

Below programs illustrates the above function. Program 1: 

CPP

// C++ program to illustrate
// iswgraph() function
#include <cwctype>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

    wchar_t ch1 = '?';
    wchar_t ch2 = ' ';

    // Function to check if the character
    // has a graphical representation or not
    if (iswgraph(ch1))
        wcout << ch1 << " has graphical representation ";
    else
        wcout << ch1 << " does not have graphical representation ";
    wcout << endl;

    if (iswgraph(ch2))
        wcout << ch2 << " has graphical representation ";
    else
        wcout << ch2 << " does not have graphical representation ";

    return 0;
}

Output:

? has graphical representation 
  does not have graphical representation

Program 2: 

CPP

// C++ program to illustrate
// iswgraph() function
#include <cwctype>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{

    wchar_t ch1 = ' ';
    wchar_t ch2 = '3';

    // Function to check if the character
    // has a graphical representation or not
    if (iswgraph(ch1))
        wcout << ch1 << " has graphical representation ";
    else
        wcout << ch1 << " does not have graphical representation ";
    wcout << endl;

    if (iswgraph(ch2))
        wcout << ch2 << " has graphical representation ";
    else
        wcout << ch2 << " does not have graphical representation ";

    return 0;
}

Output:

does not have graphical representation 
3 has graphical representation
