isXXX Functions work for chars (or the integer number of a char). You 
have assigned the integer 2 to test. Interpreted as a char it's a 
control char (below the space character in the ASCII table). 
To assign the ASCII 2 character to test write the assignment as

   test = '2'; /* ASCII 2 == decimal 50 */
