When using C++ to serve multi-languages users, we need to validate the caractères in the string to find out what to do.
In our case, we need to find out if there's a special character in the string to convert them, and this was made by checking the decimal code of each character and check if it is above 127 or not,
why 127?
Because the ASCII table told us that the characters code starts from 0 (NULL) and ends at 127(DEL)
So we made this function.
bool isASCII(const std::string& s)
{
return !std::any_of(s.begin(), s.end(), [](char c) {
return static_cast
And this how we used it
#include
bool isASCII(const std::string& s)
{
return !std::any_of(s.begin(), s.end(), [](char c) {
return static_cast
int main(){ std::string testString = "not a valid Ãscii"; std::cout << "Is valid ASCII " << isASCII(testString.c_str()) << std::endl; }
And the output will be:
Is valid ASCII 0
0 as NULL is C++
