[C++] Question regarding input data type. Helppp :|

[cikon]

Helo,

im doing overloading function.

example
class a
{
... example(int a)
... example(double b)
};

int main()
{
a. b;
cout << "Enter value";
cin>>q;
b.example(q)

}

what is q's data type ?

You tell us - it's your code, which by the way won't compile, since q is not declared.

im sorry for not making it clear. act i want to ask, what is the data type of unknown parameter. like q. it can be either int or double. and we do not know what is the type will be inserted by the user.

No, it is not unknown - you have to declare it before using it in main(). Once it is declared and example(q) is called compiler already knows q type and calls the correct overload.

Edit: I think I know what you mean, you have no idea what the user will input beforehand. You have to write code that will analyze the input before storing the information in the variable. q type is not decided during runtime depending on what the user enters, it must be declared earlier. If you need separate example() functions for different input types, you need to call them AFTER checking what was the user input type.

Hello, it seems like you are trying to create an overloaded function in C++ to handle different data types. In this case, the data type of q would depend on what the user inputs when prompted by the cin statement. If the user inputs an integer, q would be of type int. If the user inputs a decimal number, q would be of type double. It is important to make sure that the data type of q matches the parameter type in your overloaded function in order for it to work correctly. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
