The **`isalpha` method** will return `True` if all the characters of the string are alphabetic; otherwise, it returns `False`. If the string is empty, then the `isalpha` method will return `False`. 

> `isalpha` will return `True` if all the characters of the string are defined in the #key#  `Letter`: Letter (L): lowercase (Ll), titlecase (Lt), uppercase (Lu), modifier (Lm), other (Lo) #key# Category of the Unicode character Database. Refer [here](https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/category) for Unicode Character categories.

# Syntax

```
string.isalpha()
```

# Return value 

* `True`: If all the characters of the string are alphabetic. 

* `False`: If any one of the characters of the string is not alphabetic or if the string is an empty string.

# Example 

string = "text"
print(string.isalpha())

#isalpha returns false because string has numbers
string = "ab3"
print(string.isalpha())

#isalpha returns false because the string has spaces
string = "I have space"
print(string.isalpha())

#for empty string isalpha returns false
string = ""
print(string.isalpha());

In the code above: 

* We call `isalpha` on the  `text` string. The `isalpha` will return `True` because all the characters of the string are alphabetic.

* We call `isalpha` on the  `ab3` string. The `isalpha` will return `False` because the string contains a numerical character. 

* We call `isalpha` on the `I have space` string. The `isalpha` will return `False` because the string contains a space character.  

* We call `isalpha` on the empty string. For the empty string, the `isalpha` method will return `False`.
