Check if string has letter in uppercase or lowercase

Question

i would like to know if it's possible check if one letter of a string is capitalized. Other way to see it, if all letters in the string are uppercase or lowercase. Example:

string a = "aaaaAaa"; 
string b = "AAAAAa"; 

if(??){ //Cheking if all the string is lowercase
   cout << "The string a contain a uppercase letter" << endl;
}
if(??){ //Checking if all the string is uppercase
       cout << "The string b contain a lowercase letter" << endl;
}

Answer 1

you can use standard algorithm std::all_of

if( std::all_of( str.begin(), str.end(), islower ) { // all lowercase
}

Answer 2

Use all_of in concert with isupper and islower:

if(all_of(a.begin(), a.end(), &::isupper)){ //Cheking if all the string is lowercase
    cout << "The string a contain a uppercase letter" << endl;
}
if(all_of(a.begin(), a.end(), &::islower)){ //Checking if all the string is uppercase
    cout << "The string b contain a lowercase letter" << endl;
}

demo

Alternatively, use count_if, if you want to check the number of letters matching your predicate.

Answer 3

This can be easily done with lambda expressions:

if (std::count_if(a.begin(), b.end(), [](unsigned char ch) { return std::islower(ch); }) == 1) {
    // The string has exactly one lowercase character
    ...
}

This assumes that you want to detect exactly one uppercase/lowercase letter, as per your examples.
