Explanation of Solution

“cctype” header file:

The “cctype” header file is used to declare a set of function to categorize the individual characters in C++. The functions in that header file test a single character argument and return either true or false.

The “isalpha” and “isdigit” functions must need “cctype” header file for testing the character argument.

isalpha – check the given letter is alphabet or not

isdigit – check the given letter is digit or not.

isalpha:

If the argument is the letter either uppercase or lowercase, it return true otherwise it return false.

Example:

Consider the example of “isalpha” is as follows:

//declare and initialize the value to the variable

char c = 'a';

//check the condition

if (isalpha (c))

{

//display the output

cout << "This is a letter";

}

Here, the “c” variable holds the value of “a”. The above “if” condition is used to check if the variable “c” is an alphabet by using “isalpha” character function.

isdigit:

If the argument is a digit, it return true otherwise it return false.

Example:

Consider the example of “isdigit” is as follows:

//declare and initialize the value to the variable

char c = '0';

//check the condition

if ( isdigit (c))

{

//display the output

cout << "This is a digit";

}

Here, the “c” variable holds the value of “0”. The above “if” condition is used to check if the variable “c” is a digit by using “isdigit” character function.

Therefore, the “cctype” header file is used to test a single character argument for “isalpha” and “isdigit” function.

This struct needs an integer value for its age and character value for its gender. Furthermore, you are provided with a displayPerson() function which accepts a struct Person as its parameter. In the main() function, there's a pre-created array of 5 Persons. Your task is to ask the user for the values of the age and gender of these Persons. Then, once you've set their ages and genders, call the displayPerson() function and pass them one by one. Input 1.
