function template
<locale>
std::isalpha
template <class charT> bool isalpha (charT c, const locale& loc);
Check if character is alphabetic using locale
Checks whether c is an alphabetic character using the ctype facet of locale loc, returning the same as if ctype::is is called as:
1
| use_facet < ctype<charT> > (loc).is (ctype_base::alpha, c)
|
This function template overloads the C function isalpha (defined in <cctype>).
Parameters
- c
- Character to be checked.
- loc
- Locale to be used. It shall have a ctype facet.
The template argument charT is the character type.
Return Value
true if indeed c is an alphabetic character.
false otherwise.

Output:
character C is alphabetic character + is not alphabetic character + is not alphabetic |
Data races
Both loc and its ctype facet are accessed.
Exception safety
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no effects.
