std::isupper
<cctype>
Checks if the given character is an uppercase character as classified by the currently installed C locale. In the default "C" locale, std::isupper
returns a nonzero value only for the uppercase letters (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
).
If std::isupper
returns a nonzero value, it is guaranteed that std::iscntrl, std::isdigit, std::ispunct, and std::isspace return zero for the same character in the same C locale.
The behavior is undefined if the value of ch is not representable as unsigned char and is not equal to EOF .

[edit] Parameters
[edit] Return value
Non-zero value if the character is an uppercase letter, zero otherwise.
[edit] Notes
Like all other functions from <cctype>, the behavior of std::isupper
is undefined if the argument's value is neither representable as unsigned char nor equal to EOF . To use these functions safely with plain chars (or signed chars), the argument should first be converted to unsigned char:
bool my_isupper(char ch) { return std::isupper(static_cast<unsigned char>(ch)); }
Similarly, they should not be directly used with standard algorithms when the iterator's value type is char or signed char. Instead, convert the value to unsigned char first:
int count_uppers(const std::string & s) { return std::count_if (s.begin(), s.end(), // static_cast<int(*)(int)>(std::isupper) // wrong // [](int c){ return std::isupper(c); } // wrong // [](char c){ return std::isupper(c); } // wrong [](unsigned char c){ return std::isupper(c); } // correct ); }
[edit] Example
#include <cctype> #include <clocale> #include <iostream> int main() { unsigned char c = '\xc6'; // letter Æ in ISO-8859-1 std::cout << "isupper(\'\\xc6\', default C locale) returned " << std::boolalpha << (bool)std::isupper(c) << '\n'; std::setlocale (LC_ALL, "en_GB.iso88591"); std::cout << "isupper(\'\\xc6\', ISO-8859-1 locale) returned " << std::boolalpha << (bool)std::isupper(c) << '\n'; }
Possible output:
isupper('\xc6', default C locale) returned false isupper('\xc6', ISO-8859-1 locale) returned true
