    Exclamation Could someone please write a simple program for me?!

    Im trying to write a program that reads in characters from a user speci ed input file and
    displays the character and the characteristics of the character, e.g., lower
    case, etc.
    Speci cally, test if the character:
     is a letter.
     if the character is a letter, test if it is lower case or upper case.
     if the character is a letter, test if it is a vowel or consonant.
     is a control character (# is less that 32).
     is a digit.
     if the character is a digit, test if the value is odd or even.
     is a punctuation character.

    Be completely fascinated with this:

    ASCII Table / Extended ASCII Codes

    An introduction to the significance:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII

    ASCII codes represent text in computers, communications equipment, and other devices that use text. Most modern character-encoding schemes are based on ASCII, though they support many more characters than did ASCII.
    That includes C/C++.
