The java.lang.Character.isSpaceChar(char ch) is an inbuilt method in java which determines if the specified character is a Unicode space character. A character is considered to be a space character if and only if it is specified to be a space character by the Unicode Standard.
This method returns true if the character's general category type is any of the following ?
Java
Java
- SPACE_SEPARATOR
- LINE_SEPARATOR
- PARAGRAPH_SEPARATOR
public static boolean isSpaceChar(char ch)Parameter: The function accepts one mandatory parameter ch which specifies the character to be tested. Return Value: This method returns a boolean value. The value is True if the character is a space character, False otherwise. Below programs illustrate the Character.isSpaceChar() method: Program 1:
// Java program to illustrate the
// Character.isSpaceChar() method
import java.lang.*;
public class gfg {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// create 2 char primitives c1, c2 and assign values
char c1 = '$', c2 = '\u2025';
// Function to check if the character is a unicode space or not
boolean bool1 = Character.isSpaceChar(c1);
System.out.println("c1 is a space character? " + bool1);
// Function to check if the character is a unicode space or not
boolean bool2 = Character.isSpaceChar(c2);
System.out.println("c2 is a space character? " + bool2);
}
}
Output:
Program 2:
c1 is a space character? false c2 is a space character? false
// Java program to illustrate the
// Character.isSpaceChar() method
import java.lang.*;
public class gfg {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// create 2 char primitives
// c1, c2 and assign values
char c1 = '*', c2 = '\u2028';
// Function to check if the character is a unicode space or not
boolean bool1 = Character.isSpaceChar(c1);
System.out.println("c1 is a space character? " + bool1);
// Function to check if the character is a unicode space or not
boolean bool2 = Character.isSpaceChar(c2);
System.out.println("c2 is a space character? " + bool2);
}
}
