Syntax:

Arguments and Values:

character—a character.

generalized-boolean—a generalized boolean.

Description:

These functions test the case of a given character.

13.2.0 13upper-case-p returns true if character is an uppercase character; otherwise, returns false.

13.2.0 14lower-case-p returns true if character is a lowercase character; otherwise, returns false.

 (upper-case-p #\A) → true

 (both-case-p #\a) → true
 (both-case-p #\5) → false
 (lower-case-p #\5) → false
 (upper-case-p #\5) → false
