checking if the value is an number or a character, is there such function?

[jalkadir]

I am looking for a C++ method that will tell me if the value returned
is a int, double, floeat, etc. Is there such a method in C++?

Thanks folks

returned from where?

Certainly. Whatever return type you define.

int i()
{
return 0; /* returns a type 'int' object */
}

double d()
{
return 0; /* returns a type 'double' object */
}

well I think he wants to define how the returned type is , as Mike said
the type of returned data is clear in C++ , cause it is the exact type
that you have declared when you were declaring the function. But if you
are using VC++ or something else that contain datatypes that can accept
different types like we have in delphi , I think i have read something
like this in C++ but not sure about it . but give sizeof() a try , it
might help you .

The return type of any function can be and is determined at compile
time. Even by looking at the function declaration can tell you what type
does the function return.

Perhaps you are talking about something else, things like type reflection?

If the function you are expecting does exist, what would you think it
would look like? Is the following the example of what you are looking for:

int add(int a, int b);

string rettype = get_return_type("add"); // returns "int"
