isAlpha() : This string method will return true, if the string contain only characters.

//Return true
String s1 = 'Biswajeet';
Boolean b1 = s1.isAlpha();
System.assertEquals(true, b1);

//Return false
String s2 = 'Biswajeet Samal';
Boolean b2 = s2.isAlpha();
System.assertEquals(false, b2);

//Return false
String s3 = 'Biswajeet1234';
Boolean b3 = s3.isAlpha();
System.assertEquals(false, b3);

isAlphaSpace() : This string method will return true, if the string contain alphabet and white spaces.

//Return true
String s1 = 'Biswajeet';
Boolean b1 = s1.isAlphaSpace();
System.assertEquals(true, b1);

//Return true
String s2 = 'Biswajeet Samal';
