# isxdigit() function in C

## Using the `isxdigit()` function in C

The `isxdigit()` function in C is used to check whether a character is a hexadecimal digit (**0-9,a-f,A-F**). The function takes a character as input and returns a non-zero value if the character is a hexadecimal digit, or zero if the character is not a hexadecimal digit.

Here is an example of how to use the `isxdigit()` function:

```c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <ctype.h>

int32_t main(int32_t argc, char const *argv[])
{
    char c = 'a';

    int32_t result = isxdigit(c);

    if (result > 0x00)
    {
        printf("The character '%c' is a hexadecimal digit.\n", c);
    }
    else
    {
        printf("The character '%c' is not a hexadecimal digit.\n", c);
    }

    return 0;
}
```

The `isxdigit()` function takes a character as input and returns a non-zero value if the character is a hexadecimal digit, or zero if the character is not a hexadecimal digit. In this example, the character `'a'` is a hexadecimal digit, so the function will return non-zero and the `printf()` statement will print the output.
