help in c with ascii

[toyota]

good morning everyone

I m working on a program in c and i want to
check a string if all characters are capitals and between A-Z(english).
So the way i have to do it is by checking the ascii value of each character in the string given(ex str).

Can anyone help me with this .??
thank u very much..

//admins sorry if i have posted in the wrong place//

The standard header <ctype.h> provides an isupper() function that you may find handy.

If you give it a try then show us your code or errors then we could probably help better.

thank u very much..I ll try it later and i will return with code ..

[ssharish2005]

or u could do it manually

if( ch >= 65 && ch <= 90 )

or

if( ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z' )

encapsulate this code with the function. And just call the function.

Never do that. It isn't portable because it will only run on ASCII platforms.
Even if your code is currently only running on an ASCII platform, you never know how long your code will survive and what platforms it will be ported to.

How about unicode? Or maybe it isn't supported on all platforms?

So just in curious which machine donst support ASCII?

z/OS Mainframes would be one.

More important question:
How can somone looking at the code confirm that it is correct?
Or
In which piece of code is someone more likely to notice an off-by-one error?

Hello again..
thanks everyone for advise

i m just wondering
how the code from ssharish would work for the whole string(example given string saved in str variable)
and
what about using the function isupper();
(to remember I want all letters in caps betweeen A-Z)!
I 've never used this one.If anyone can give me an example for sth string str...
and i think this can be in a new function so it will be called after user gives the phrase!..

Thank u all

Use toupper() on each character in the string to convert to uppercase.
