unicode.IsUpper()

The IsUpper() function is an inbuilt function of the unicode package which is used to check whether the given rune r is an upper case letter.

It accepts one parameter (r rune) and returns true if rune r is an upper case letter; false, otherwise.

Syntax

Parameters

• r : Rune type value to be checked whether it is an upper case letter or not.

Return Value

The return type of the unicode.IsUpper() function is a bool, it returns true if rune r is an upper case letter; false, otherwise.

Example 1

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of unicode.IsUpper() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsUpper('A'):",
		unicode.IsUpper('A'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsUpper('a'):",
		unicode.IsUpper('a'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsUpper('Ä'):",
		unicode.IsUpper('Ä'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsUpper('Æ'):",
		unicode.IsUpper('Æ'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsUpper('ῌ')",
		unicode.IsUpper('ῌ'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsUpper('G'):",
		unicode.IsUpper('G'))
	fmt.Println("unicode.IsUpper('\\a'):",
		unicode.IsUpper('\a'))
}

Output:

unicode.IsUpper('A'): true
unicode.IsUpper('a'): false
unicode.IsUpper('Ä'): true
unicode.IsUpper('Æ'): true
unicode.IsUpper('ῌ') false
unicode.IsUpper('G'): true
unicode.IsUpper('\a'): false

Example 2

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of unicode.IsUpper() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	var r rune
	var result bool

	r = 'G'
	result = unicode.IsUpper(r)
	if result == true {
		fmt.Printf("%c (%U) is an uppercase letter.\n", r, r)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("%c (%U) is not an uppercase letter.\n", r, r)
	}

	r = 'Ä'
	result = unicode.IsUpper(r)
	if result == true {
		fmt.Printf("%c (%U) is an uppercase letter.\n", r, r)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("%c (%U) is not an uppercase letter.\n", r, r)
	}

	r = 'Æ'
	result = unicode.IsUpper(r)
	if result == true {
		fmt.Printf("%c (%U) is an uppercase letter.\n", r, r)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("%c (%U) is not an uppercase letter.\n", r, r)
	}

	r = 'g'
	result = unicode.IsUpper(r)
	if result == true {
		fmt.Printf("%c (%U) is an uppercase letter.\n", r, r)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("%c (%U) is not an uppercase letter.\n", r, r)
	}
}

Output:

G (U+0047) is an uppercase letter.
Ä (U+00C4) is an uppercase letter.
Æ (U+00C6) is an uppercase letter.
g (U+0067) is not an uppercase letter.
