isdigit

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

Tests whether a character is a numeric digit (0-9), or whether this is true for all elements of a string.

Examples

1. Check if a character is a digit:

   julia> isdigit('5')
   true

   This example checks if the character '5' is a numeric digit.

2. Check if a character is not a digit:

   julia> isdigit('x')
   false

   It returns false for a non-digit character.

3. Check if all characters in a string are digits:

   julia> isdigit("12345")
   true

   It returns true if all characters in the string are numeric digits.

4. Check if any character in a string is not a digit:

   julia> isdigit("12x34")
   false

   It returns false if any character in the string is not a digit.

Common mistake example:

julia> isdigit("abc123")
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching isdigit(::String)

In this example, the isdigit function is called with a string as an argument. However, the isdigit function only accepts a Char or AbstractString as input. Ensure that you pass a character or a string to the isdigit function to avoid such errors.
