digit-char-p [Function]

digit-char-p char {&optional radix} => weight

Arguments and Values::

char---a character.

radix---a radix. The default is 10.

weight---either a non-negative integer less than radix, or false.

Description::

Tests whether char is a digit in the specified radix (i.e., with a weight less than radix). If it is a digit in that radix, its weight is returned as an integer; otherwise nil is returned.

Examples::

 (digit-char-p #\5)    =>  5
 (digit-char-p #\5 2)  =>  false
 (digit-char-p #\A)    =>  false
 (digit-char-p #\a)    =>  false
 (digit-char-p #\A 11) =>  10
 (digit-char-p #\a 11) =>  10
