All characters whether alphabet, digit or special character have ASCII value. Input character from the user will determine if it’s Alphabet, Number or Special character.
ASCII value ranges-
- For capital alphabets 65 – 90
- For small alphabets 97 – 122
- For digits 48 – 57
All other cases are Special Characters.
Examples :
Input : 8 Output : Digit Input : E Output : Alphabet
C++
// CPP program to find type of input character #include <iostream> using namespace std; void charCheck(char input_char) { // CHECKING FOR ALPHABET if ((input_char >= 65 && input_char <= 90) || (input_char >= 97 && input_char <= 122)) cout << " Alphabet "; // CHECKING FOR DIGITS else if (input_char >= 48 && input_char <= 57) cout << " Digit "; // OTHERWISE SPECIAL CHARACTER else cout << " Special Character "; } // Driver Code int main() { char input_char = '$'; charCheck(input_char); return 0; } |
