# iswdigit

From cppreference.com
< c‎ | string‎ | wide

Defined in header `<wctype.h>` |  |
int iswdigit( wint_t ch ); |  | (since C95)

Checks if the given wide character corresponds (if narrowed) to one of the ten decimal digit characters 0123456789.

### [edit] Parameters

ch | - | wide character

### [edit] Return value

Non-zero value if the wide character is an numeric character, zero otherwise.

### [edit] Notes

`iswdigit` and iswxdigit are the only standard wide character classification functions that are not affected by the currently installed C locale.

### [edit] Example

Some locales offer additional character classes that detect non-ASCII digits

Run this code

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <wctype.h>
    #include <wchar.h>
    #include <locale.h>

    void test(wchar_t a3, wchar_t u3, wchar_t j3)
    {
        printf("        '%lc' '%lc' '%lc'\n", a3, u3, j3);
        printf("iswdigit %d    %d   %d\n",
               !!iswdigit(a3), !!iswdigit(u3), !!iswdigit(j3));
        printf("jdigit:  %d    %d   %d\n", !!iswctype(a3, wctype("jdigit")),
              !!iswctype(u3, wctype("jdigit")),
              !!iswctype(j3, wctype("jdigit")));
    }

    int main(void)
    {
        wchar_t a3 = L'3';  // the ASCII digit 3
        wchar_t u3 = L'三'; // the CJK numeral 3
        wchar_t j3 = L'３'; // the fullwidth digit 3

        setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
        puts("In American locale:");
        test(a3, u3, j3);

        setlocale(LC_ALL, "ja_JP.utf8");
        puts("\nIn Japanese locale:");
        test(a3, u3, j3);
    }

Output:

    In American locale:
            '3' '三' '３'
    iswdigit 1    0   0
    jdigit:  0    0   0

    In Japanese locale:
            '3' '三' '３'
    iswdigit 1    0   0
    jdigit:  0    0   1
