Tests whether an element in a locale is a punctuation character.
template<Class CharType>
   bool ispunct(
      CharType _Ch, 
      const locale& _Loc
   )
Parameters
- _Ch 
 The element to be tested.
- _Loc 
 The locale containing the element to be tested.
Return Value
true if the element tested is a punctuation character; false if it is not.
Remarks
The template function returns use_facet<ctype<CharType> >(_Loc).is(ctype<CharType>::punct, _Ch).
Example
// locale_ispunct.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
#include <locale>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main( )   
{
   locale loc ( "German_Germany" );
   bool result1 = ispunct ( 'L', loc );
   bool result2 = ispunct ( ';', loc );
   bool result3 = ispunct ( '*', loc );
   if ( result1 )
      cout << "The character 'L' in the locale is "
           << "a punctuation character." << endl;
   else
      cout << "The character 'L' in the locale is "
           << " not a punctuation character." << endl;
   if ( result2 )
      cout << "The character ';' in the locale is "
           << "a punctuation character." << endl;
   else
      cout << "The character ';' in the locale is "
           << " not a punctuation character." << endl;
   if ( result3 )
      cout << "The character '*' in the locale is "
           << "a punctuation character." << endl;
   else
      cout << "The character '*' in the locale is "
           << " not a punctuation character." << endl;
}
Output
The character 'L' in the locale is  not a punctuation character.
The character ';' in the locale is a punctuation character.
The character '*' in the locale is a punctuation character.
