c++, how to verify is the data input is of the correct datatype [duplicate]

how do I validate user input as a double in C++?

I am new to C++, and I have a function in which I am wanting the user to input a double value. How would I go about insuring that the value input was of the correct datatype? Also, how would an error be handled? At the moment this is all I have:

if(cin >> radius){}else{}

I using `try{}catch(){}, but I don't think that would the right solution for this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

回答1:

If ostream& operator>>(ostream& , T&) fails the extraction of formatted data (such as integer, double, float, ...), stream.fail() will be true and thus !stream will evaluate to true too.

So you can use

cin >> radius;
if(!cin){
    cout << "Bad value!";
    cin.clear();
    cin.ignore(numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), '\n');
    cin >> radius;
}

or simply

while(!(cin >> radius)){
    cout << "Bad value!";
    cin.clear();
    cin.ignore(numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), '\n');
}

It is important to ignore the rest of the line, since operator>> won't extract any data from the stream anymore as it is in a wrong format. So if you remove

cin.ignore(numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), '\n');

your loop will never end, as the input isn't cleared from the standard input.

You need to read the entire line using std::getline and std::string. That is the way to fully verify that the entire line is of the correct data type:

std::string line;
while(std::getline(std::cin, line))
{
    std::stringstream ss(line);
    if ((ss >> radius) && ss.eof())
    {
       // Okay break out of loop
       break;
    }
    else
    {
       // Error!
       std::cout << "Invalid input" << std::endl;
    }
}

回答3:

This example is self explanatory, however with this approach you can't distinguish between int and double data types.

int main()
{
  double number = 0;

  if (!(std::cin >> number))
  {
    std::cout << "That's not a number; ";
  }
  else
  {
    std::cout << "That's  a number; ";
  }
}
