C++ program to check if the string contains only alphabets using class

Given a string, we have to check if the string contains only alphabets using the class and object approach.

Example:

Input:
Enter String: SHUBH

Output:
String contains only alphabets

C++ code to check if the string contains only alphabets using the class and object approach

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// create a class
class String {
  // private data member
 private:
  char str[30];

  // public member functions
 public:
  // getString() function to 
  // store string
  void getString() {
    cout << "Enter String: ";
    cin.getline(str, 30);
  }

  // isAlphabet() function to check if
  // the string is in alphabet
  void isAlphabet() {
    // initializing int type variables to
    // perform operations
    int index, check = 0;

    // for loop to traverse the whole string
    for (index = 0; str[index]; index++) {
      // for loop to traverse the whole string
      for (index = 0; str[index]; index++) {
        // if condition to check if the string is Alphabet
        if ((str[index] >= 'A' && str[index] <= 'Z') ||
            (str[index] >= 'a' && str[index] <= 'z') || (str[index] == 32)) {
          check++;
        } else {
          check = 0;
          break;
        }
      }

      if (check != 0) {
        cout << "String contains only alphabets" << endl;
        break;
      } else {
        cout << "String does not contain only alphabets " << endl;
        break;
      }
    }
  }
};

int main() {
  // create an object
  String S;

  // calling getString() function to 
  // insert string
  S.getString();

  // calling isAlphabet() function to 
  // check the string
  S.isAlphabet();

  return 0;
}

Output:

RUN 1:
Enter String: Hello
String contains only alphabets

RUN 2:
Enter String: Hello1
String does not contain only alphabets

Explanation:

In the above code, we have created a class String, one char type array data member str[30] to store the string, and public member functions getString() and isAlphabet() to store the string and to check if the string is in the alphabet or not.

In the main() function, we are creating an object S of class String, reading a string by the user using the function getString(), and finally calling the isAlphabet() member function to check the string if it is in the alphabet or not. The isAlphabet() function contains the logic to check if the string is in the alphabet or not and printing the result.
