Loop through your string and check that each character is between 'a' and 'z'
or 'A' and 'Z'. Are you familiar with ASCII codes? Your string is made up
of ASCII codes. Some are for letters, which sounds like what you want. Some
are for numbers, punctuation, and some are non-printable control characters.

"Karlene" asked:
How can you validate a string (eg a name of a person) to check that it only
contains characters, not integers? I have tried exceptions in my program,
but it dosent seem to cover it.
