Working with Character Data
Each computer uses a particular character set, two
in substantial use today are ASCII and EBCDIC.
The vast majority use ASCII.
Character Issues:
Comparing Characters: if (ch >= ‘a’ && ch <= ‘z’) –
islower is preferred usage
Converting Digit Characters to Integers: ‘9’ – ‘0’ = 9
Converting to Lowercase and Uppercase: toupper and
tolower can help (#include <cctype>)
 Accessing Characters Within a String: Use position
number, e.g. ch = inputStr[2];
