check if character is a letter in swift

To check if a character is a letter in Swift, you can use the isLetter method of the CharacterSet class on a Character value. This method returns true if the character is a member of any Unicode-defined letter category, and false otherwise.

Here's an example:

main.swift
let character: Character = "A"
if character.unicodeScalars.allSatisfy({ CharacterSet.letters.contains($0) }) {
    print("The character is a letter.")
} else {
    print("The character is not a letter.")
}
206 chars
7 lines

In this example, we create a Character value with the letter "A". We then use the unicodeScalars property of the Character to get its Unicode scalar value. We apply the allSatisfy method to the scalar value and apply a closure that checks if the CharacterSet.letters contains the scalar value. If all scalar values satisfy this condition, then the character is a letter.
