Hi ,

I had been surfing around Delorie's lib C online reference for a
function that can test whether an input is in float or int.

For example , let's say I have a float variable named foo.

When I get the input using

cin << foo ;

I'd like to test is if the input was convertable to an int without loss
of precision. For example , if the input given was 6.0000 , then
converting it to an int would give 6. But if the input was 6.1234 , then
conversion should not take place.
 

Thanks for reading this !
