Function UPPER-CASE-P, LOWER-CASE-P, BOTH-CASE-P

Syntax:

upper-case-p character => generalized-boolean

lower-case-p character => generalized-boolean

both-case-p character => generalized-boolean

Arguments and Values:

character---a character.

generalized-boolean---a generalized boolean.

Description:

These functions test the case of a given character.

upper-case-p returns true if character is an uppercase character; otherwise, returns false.

lower-case-p returns true if character is a lowercase character; otherwise, returns false.

both-case-p returns true if character is a character with case; otherwise, returns false.

Examples:

     (upper-case-p #\A) =>  true
     (upper-case-p #\a) =>  false
     (both-case-p #\a) =>  true
     (both-case-p #\5) =>  false
     (lower-case-p #\5) =>  false
     (upper-case-p #\5) =>  false
     ;; This next example presupposes an implementation
     ;; in which #\Bell is an implementation-defined character.
     (lower-case-p #\Bell) =>  false

Side Effects: None.

Affected By: None.

Exceptional Situations:

Should signal an error of type type-error if character is not a character.
