isxdigit() function in C Language
isxdigit() function in C programming language checks that whether the given character is hexadecimal or not. isxdigit() function is defined in ctype.h header file. Hexadecimal equivalent of Decimal Numbers:
Hexadecimal: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F Decimal: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Syntax:
char isxdigit( char x);
Examples:
Input : A Output : Entered character is hexadecimal Input : 2 Output : Entered character is hexadecimal Input : @ Output : Entered character is not hexadecimal
C
// C program to demonstrate isxdigit() #include <ctype.h> #include <stdio.h> int main() { // taking input char ch = 'A' ; // checking is the given input is hexadecimal or not? if ( isxdigit (ch)) printf ("\nEntered character is hexadecimal"); else printf ("\nEntered character is not hexadecimal"); } |
Output:
Entered character is hexadecimal
Application : isxdigit() function in C programming language is used to find out total numbers of hexadecimals present in any given input. Example:
Input: abc123 Output: Number of hexadecimals present in the given input is : 6 Input: abcdef Output: Number of hexadecimals present in the given input is : 6 Input: 123456@$ Output: Number of hexadecimals present in the given input is : 6
Let’s see C program on this topic:
C
// C program to demonstrate isxdigit() #include <ctype.h> #include <stdio.h> int ttl_hexadecimal( int i, int counter) { char ch; char a[50] = "@#asf12345"; ch = a[0]; // counting of hexadecimal numbers while (ch != '\0' ) { ch = a[i]; if ( isxdigit (ch)) counter++; i++; } // returning total number of hexadecimal // in the given input return (counter); } int main() { int i = 0; int counter = 0; counter = ttl_hexadecimal(i, counter); printf ("\nNumber of hexadecimals in string" " is : %d", counter); return 0; } |
Output:
Number of hexadecimals in string is : 7
