# std::isdigit(std::locale)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | locale

Defined in header `<locale>` |  |
template< class charT > bool isdigit( charT ch, const locale& loc ); |  |

Checks if the given character is classified as a digit by the given locale's std::ctype facet.

### [edit] Parameters

ch | - | character
loc | - | locale

### [edit] Return value

Returns true if the character is classified as a digit, false otherwise.

### [edit] Possible implementation

    template< class charT >
    bool isdigit( charT ch, const std::locale& loc ) {
        return std::use_facet<std::ctype<charT>>(loc).is(std::ctype_base::digit, ch);
    }

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <locale>
    #include <string>
    #include <set>

    struct jdigit_ctype : std::ctype<wchar_t>
    {
        std::set<wchar_t> jdigits{L'一',L'二',L'三',L'四',L'五',L'六',L'七',L'八',L'九',L'十'};
        bool do_is(mask m, char_type c) const {
            if ((m & digit) && jdigits.count(c))
                return true; // Japanese digits will be classified as digits
            return ctype::do_is(m, c); // leave the rest to the parent class
        }
    };

    int main()
    {

        std::wstring text = L"123一二三１２３";
        std::locale loc(std::locale(""), new jdigit_ctype);

        std::locale::global(std::locale(""));
        std::wcout.imbue(std::locale());

        for(wchar_t c : text)
            if(std::isdigit(c, loc))
                std::wcout << c << " is a digit\n";
            else
                std::wcout << c << " is NOT a digit\n";
    }

Output:

    1 is a digit
    2 is a digit
    3 is a digit
    一 is a digit
    二 is a digit
    三 is a digit
    １ is NOT a digit
    ２ is NOT a digit
    ３ is NOT a digit
