   Console::WriteLine( Char::IsLetterOrDigit( '8' ) ); // Output: "True"
   Console::WriteLine( Char::IsLetterOrDigit( str, 8 ) ); // Output: "False", because it's a newline
}
using System;

public class IsLetterOrDigitSample {
    public static void Main() {
        string str = "newline:\n";

        Console.WriteLine(Char.IsLetterOrDigit('8'));		// Output: "True"
        Console.WriteLine(Char.IsLetterOrDigit(str, 8));	// Output: "False", because it's a newline
    }
}
open System

let str = "newline:\n"

printfn $"{Char.IsLetterOrDigit '8'}"       // Output: "True"
printfn $"{Char.IsLetterOrDigit(str, 8)}"   // Output: "False", because it's a newline
Module IsLetterOrDigitSample

    Sub Main()

        Dim str As String
        str = "newline:" + Environment.NewLine

        Console.WriteLine(Char.IsLetterOrDigit("8"c))       ' Output: "True"
        Console.WriteLine(Char.IsLetterOrDigit(str, 8))     ' Output: "False", because it's a NewLine

    End Sub
