isalnum : alphanumeric character predicate

#include <ctype.h>
int isalnum(int c);
```### Description
isalnum is a macro which classifies ASCII integer values by table lookup. It is a predicate returning non-zero for alphabetic or numeric ASCII characters, and 0 for other arguments. It is defined for all integer values.
You can use a compiled subroutine instead of the macro definition by undefining the macro using `#undef isalnum'.### Returns
isalnum returns non-zero if c is a letter (a--z or A--Z) or a digit (0--9).
