public static bool IsDigit(
    char c
)

Visual C++

public:
static bool IsDigit(
    wchar_t c
)

public static boolean IsDigit(
    char c
)

JScript

public static function IsDigit(
    c : char
) : boolean

Parameters

c: Type: System..::.Char
A Unicode character.

Return Value

Valid digits are members of the following category in UnicodeCategory: DecimalDigitNumber.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates IsDigit.

Visual Basic

Imports System

Module IsDigitSample

    Sub Main()

        Dim ch8 As Char
        ch8 = "8"c

        Console.WriteLine(Char.IsDigit(ch8))                    ' Output: "True"
        Console.WriteLine(Char.IsDigit("sample string", 6))     ' Output: "False"

    End Sub

End Module

using System;

public class IsDigitSample {
    public static void Main() {
        char ch = '8';

        Console.WriteLine(Char.IsDigit(ch));                    // Output: "True"
        Console.WriteLine(Char.IsDigit("sample string", 7));    // Output: "False"
    }
}

Visual C++

using namespace System;
int main()
{
   char ch = '8';
   Console::WriteLine( Char::IsDigit( ch ) ); // Output: "True"
   Console::WriteLine( Char::IsDigit(  "sample string", 7 ) ); // Output: "False"
}

import System.* ;

public class IsDigitSample
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        char ch = '8';

        Console.WriteLine(Char.IsDigit(ch));                // Output: "True"
        Console.WriteLine(Char.IsDigit("sample string", 7));// Output: "False"
    } //main
} //IsDigitSample
