C++

Question

Im new here guys pls help me. I would like to make a program that if you input characters it would I dentify those characters individually if its an alphabet, number and special character. And have counters and stuff. How would I start?

Answer 1

Include <cctype> header file, then you can use:

● std::isalpha to check whether a char was alphabetical

● std::isdigit to check whether a char was numerical

There are other functions defined in that header you might find suitable to check for special characters (you didn't specify what they are).

In your code you need to setup some counter variables whose value are to be incremented when a character fits a criteria (alphabet, numeric etc). When a character was alphabetical increase variable counter for alphabets, when it's a number increase counter variable for numbers, etc.
