char the_chars[] = { 'A', '5', '$' };

#define SIZE sizeof( the_chars ) / sizeof( char )

int main( void )
{
    int i;

    for( i = 0; i < SIZE; i++ ) {
        if( isdigit( the_chars[i] ) ) {
            printf( "Char %c is a digit character\n",
                the_chars[i] );
        } else {
            printf( "Char %c is not a digit character\n",
                the_chars[i] );
        }
