isvalid(::AbstractString,i)
isvalid(str, i)
Tells whether index i is valid for the given string
Examples
-
Check if a character is valid:
julia> isvalid('a') true -
Check if a string is valid ASCII:
julia> isvalid("hello") true -
Check if a string is valid UTF-8:
julia> isvalid("こんにちは") true -
Check if a string is valid UTF-16:
julia> isvalid("🌍") true - Check if a string is valid UTF-32:
julia> isvalid("🚀") true
Common mistake example:
julia> isvalid("你好")
true
The isvalid function only checks the validity of the given value for specific types (Char, ASCIIString, UTF8String, UTF16String, or UTF32String). It does not perform a comprehensive validity check for all possible strings. In this example, "你好" is a valid UTF-8 string, but the function returns true because it only checks for specific types.
