isupper() function in C

Using the isupper() function in C

The isupper() function in C is used to check whether a character is uppercase. The function takes a character as input and returns a non-zero value if the character is uppercase, or zero if the character is not uppercase.

Here is an example of how to use the isupper() function:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <ctype.h>

int32_t main(int32_t argc, char const *argv[])
{
    char c = 'A';

    int32_t result = isupper(c);

    if (result > 0x00)
    {
        printf("The character '%c' is a uppercase.\n", c);
    }
    else
    {
        printf("The character '%c' is not a uppercase.\n", c);
    }

    return 0;
}

The isupper() function takes a character as input and returns a non-zero value if the character is uppercase, or zero if the character is not uppercase. In this example, the character 'A' is uppercase, so the function will return a non-zero value and the printf() statement will print the output.
