ASC II code

[p4thetic]

i m having a problm in writing a program that takes a character from the user and displays whether the character entered is uppercase or a lower case or a symbol.. plx help..

You can take the character from the user then cast it to an int. That will give its ASCII value which you can use a table to look up. Something like this:

char c = Console.ReadLine();
int asciiValue = (int)c;
//Then use if statements to check the value.

so it be like

if(c <=90 && c >= 60){
     //code if uppercase }
     else if(c <= 122 && c >= 97){
     //code if lowercase}
     else {
     //code if symbol or number}
     //code

thats C++ Pseudocode but i'm sure its similar in C if thats what you are using

if i understand corectly this sample should help. Without ascii.

using System;
using System.Threading;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
	class Program
	{
		static void Main()
		{
			while (true)
			{
				while (!Console.KeyAvailable)
					Thread.Sleep(250);

				var read = Console.ReadKey(true).KeyChar.ToString();
				if (IsExitKey(read))
					return;

				if (IsUpperCase(read))
					Console.WriteLine("upper");
				else
					Console.WriteLine("lower");
			}
		}

		private static bool IsExitKey(string read)
		{
			return read.ToUpper() == "X";
		}

		private static bool IsUpperCase(string read)
		{
			return read.ToUpper() == read;
		}
	}
}

wow I didn't know C# was that different, it kinda reminds me of java

Yeah it's very similar to java in many ways (syntax etc.) but is also much more powerful and I think easier to use because of the great Visual Studio IDE.

too bad it's not portable or i might give it a shot.

Two cheers for Mono :-)
