# std::iswdigit

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | string‎ | wide

Defined in header `<cwctype>` |  |
int iswdigit( wint_t ch ); |  |

Checks if the given wide character corresponds (if narrowed) to one of the ten decimal digit characters `0123456789`.

### [edit] Parameters

ch | - | wide character

### [edit] Return value

Non-zero value if the wide character is an numeric character, zero otherwise.

### [edit] Notes

`std::iswdigit` and std::iswxdigit are the only standard wide character classification functions that are not affected by the currently installed C locale.

### [edit] Example

Some locales offer additional character classes that detect non-ASCII digits

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <cwctype>
    #include <clocale>
    void test(wchar_t a3, wchar_t u3, wchar_t j3)
    {
        std::wcout << std::boolalpha
                   << "          '" << a3 << "'   '" << u3 << "'  '" << j3  << "'\n"
                   << "iswdigit "
                   << (bool)std::iswdigit(a3) << "  "
                   << (bool)std::iswdigit(u3) << " "
                   << (bool)std::iswdigit(j3) << '\n'
                   << "jdigit:  "
                   << (bool)std::iswctype(a3, std::wctype("jdigit")) << ' '
                   << (bool)std::iswctype(u3, std::wctype("jdigit")) << ' '
                   << (bool)std::iswctype(j3, std::wctype("jdigit")) << '\n';
    }
    int main()
    {
        wchar_t a3 = L'3';  // the ASCII digit 3
        wchar_t u3 = L'三'; // the CJK numeral 3
        wchar_t j3 = L'３'; // the fullwidth digit 3

        std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
        std::wcout << "In american locale:\n";
        test(a3, u3, j3);

        std::wcout << "\nIn japanese locale:\n";
        std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "ja_JP.utf8");
        test(a3, u3, j3);
    }

Output:

    In american locale:
              '3'   '三'  '３'
    iswdigit true  false false
    jdigit:  false false false

    In japanese locale:
              '3'   '三'  '３'
    iswdigit true  false false
    jdigit:  false false true
