isgraph

isgraph(c::Union{Char,AbstractString}) -> Bool

Tests whether a character is printable, and not a space, or whether this is true for all elements of a string. Any character that would cause a printer to use ink should be classified with isgraph(c)==true.

Examples

julia> isgraph('A')
true

julia> isgraph(' ')
false

julia> isgraph('\t')
false

julia> isgraph("Hello")
true

julia> isgraph("Hello, World!")
true

julia> isgraph("   ")
false

The isgraph function checks whether a character is printable and not a space. If a character is printable and not a space, it returns true. If the input is a string, it checks whether all the characters in the string are printable and not spaces.

Common mistake example:

julia> isgraph(65)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching isgraph(::Int64)

In this example, isgraph is called with an argument of type Int64, which is not a valid argument type. The argument should be either a Char or an AbstractString.
