isxdigit() function in C programming language checks that whether the given character is hexadecimal or not. isxdigit() function is defined in ctype.h header file. Hexadecimal equivalent of Decimal Numbers:
Hexadecimal: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F Decimal: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Syntax:
char isxdigit( char x);
Examples:
Input : A Output : Entered character is hexadecimal Input : 2 Output : Entered character is hexadecimal Input : @ Output : Entered character is not hexadecimal
C
// C program to demonstrate isxdigit() #include <ctype.h> #include <stdio.h> int main()
{ // taking input
char ch = 'A' ;
// checking is the given input is hexadecimal or not?
if ( isxdigit (ch))
printf ("\nEntered character is hexadecimal");
else
printf ("\nEntered character is not hexadecimal");
} |
Output:
Entered character is hexadecimal
Application : isxdigit() function in C programming language is used to find out total numbers of hexadecimals present in any given input. Example:
Input: abc123 Output: Number of hexadecimals present in the given input is : 6 Input: abcdef Output: Number of hexadecimals present in the given input is : 6 Input: 123456@$ Output: Number of hexadecimals present in the given input is : 6
Let’s see C program on this topic:
C
// C program to demonstrate isxdigit() #include <ctype.h> #include <stdio.h> int ttl_hexadecimal( int i, int counter)
{ char ch;
char a[50] = "@#asf12345";
ch = a[0];
// counting of hexadecimal numbers
while (ch != '\0' ) {
ch = a[i];
if ( isxdigit (ch))
counter++;
i++;
}
// returning total number of hexadecimal
// in the given input
return (counter);
} int main()
{ int i = 0;
int counter = 0;
counter = ttl_hexadecimal(i, counter);
printf ("\nNumber of hexadecimals in string"
" is : %d", counter);
return 0;
} |
Output:
Number of hexadecimals in string is : 7
