iswupper

The iswupper function which stands for is wide character an upper case is a standard C library function in C language.

It is a wide character equivalent of the isupper function. It checks whether wc, a wide character belongs to upper class or not.This function is used to check if entered wide character is upper case or not. A main difference between iswupper and isupper is that isupper returns nonzero value only if entered character is in the set (A to Z), but an additional concept in iswupper is, it returns non zero value only when entered character is in between(A to Z) and it is a wide character.It is included under a header file wctype.h.
