<a name="index-isalpha"></a>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">#include &lt;ctype.h&gt;
int isalpha(int <var>c</var>);

</pre></div>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
<code>isalpha</code> is a macro which classifies ASCII integer values by table
lookup.  It is a predicate returning non-zero when <var>c</var> represents an
alphabetic ASCII character, and 0 otherwise.  It is defined only if
<var>c</var> is representable as an unsigned char or if <var>c</var> is EOF.
</p>
<p>You can use a compiled subroutine instead of the macro definition by
undefining the macro using &lsquo;<code>#undef isalpha</code>&rsquo;.
</p>
<br>
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
<code>isalpha</code> returns non-zero if <var>c</var> is a letter (<code>A</code>&ndash;<code>Z</code> or
<code>a</code>&ndash;<code>z</code>). 
</p>
<br>
<p><strong>Portability</strong><br>
<code>isalpha</code> is ANSI C.
</p>
<p>No supporting OS subroutines are required.
</p>
