Java equivalent to C's "ispunct()"

Question

Is there an equivalent Java function that the same as the C99 Standard function 'ispunct()'?

The functions returns true if and only if the character is a punctuation mark.

Answer 1

You could use

if (Character.toString(myChar).matches("\\p{Punct}")) {

Answer 2

Try this (from this link):

public static boolean isPunct(final char c) {
    final int val = (int)c;
    return val >= 33 && val <= 47
    || val >= 58 && val <= 64
    || val >= 91 && val <= 96
    || val >= 123 && val <= 126;
}
