Question

Can we use a data type as a condition in C++?

For example, if a user enters a number in a string input user prompt, it executes a certain set of instructions(code). Because when I enter a number instead of a character in the terminal, it skips all cin inputs and keeps printing cout until the end of the code.

Answer 1

No you can’t use a data type as a condition but you can use function overloading or templates to attempt to bypass this.
