Lex program to check whether the input is digit or not

Lex is a computer program that generates lexical analyzers. Lex reads an input stream specifying the lexical analyzer and outputs source code implementing the lexer in the C programming language.

Prerequisite: Flex (Fast lexical Analyzer Generator).

Given an input, the task is to check if the input is digit or not.

Examples:

Input:  28
Output: digit

Input: a
Output: not a digit. 

Input: 21ab
Output: not a digit. 

Below is the implementation:
