        'A',
        'a',
        'z',
        'Z'
    };

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

    void main()
      {
        int   i;

        for( i = 0; i < SIZE; i++ ) {
          printf( "Char %c is %sa lowercase character\n",
                chars[i],
                ( islower( chars[i] ) ) ? "" : "not " );
        }
      }

    produces the following:
