Fastest way to check if string contains only digits

Question

I know a few ways how to check this. regex,int.parse,tryparse,looping.

can anyone tell me what is the fastest way to check?

the nee

Answer 1

bool IsDigitsOnly(string str)
{
    foreach (char c in str)
    {
        if (c < '0' || c > '9')
            return false;
    }

    return true;
}

Will probably be the fastest way to do it.

Answer 2

This might be coming super late!, but I'm sure it will help someone, as it helped me.

        private static bool IsDigitsOnly(string str)
        {
            return str.All(c => c >= '0' && c <= '9');
        }

Answer 3

if it is a single string :

if (str.All(Char.IsDigit))
{
  // string contains only digits
}

if it is a list of strings :

if (lstStr.All(s => s.All(Char.IsDigit)))
{
  // List of strings contains only digits
}

Answer 4

You can try using Regular Expressions by testing the input string to have only digits (0-9) by using the .IsMatch(string input, string pattern) method in C#.

using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpression;

public namespace MyNS
{
    public class MyClass
    {
        public void static Main(string[] args)
        {
             string input = Console.ReadLine();
             bool containsNumber = ContainsOnlyDigits(input);
        }

        private bool ContainOnlyDigits (string input)
        {
            bool containsNumbers = true;
            if (!Regex.IsMatch(input, @"/d"))
            {
                containsNumbers = false;
            }
            return containsNumbers;
        }
    }
}

Answer 5

What about char.IsDigit(myChar)?

Answer 6

You could simply do this using LINQ

return str.All(char.IsDigit);

1. .All returns true for empty strings and exception for null strings.
2. char.IsDigit is true for all Unicode characters.
