Problem Statement

If a character is entered through the keyboard, Write a program to determine whether the character is a capital letter, a small case letter, a digit or a speacial symbol. The following table shows the range of ASCII values for various characters : Characters ASCII Values A - Z 65 - 90 a - z 97 - 122 0 - 9 48 - 57 special symbols 0 - 47, 58 - 64, 91 - 96, 123 - 127
