DESCRIPTION<br />
<br />
&nbsp;The isspace function tests for any character that is a standard white-space character or is<br />
one of an implementation-defined set of characters for which isalnum is false. &nbsp;The standard<br />
white-space characters are the following: space (' '), form feed ('\f'), new-line ('\n'),<br />
carriage return ('\r'), horizontal tab ('\t'), and vertical tab ('\v'). &nbsp;In the &quot;C&quot; locale,<br />
isspace returns true only for the standard white-space characters.<br />

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
