Is there a way(function) to distingusih between different data types?

if u can, provide me with the code...

thank u...

Have a look at the typeid() operator (include <typeinfo>) or else simply use
dynamic_cast<.. .>(...)

kind regards,

F.Y.I.

When using dynamic type casting or using typeid you must ensure that the compiler has that feature enabled. Some disable it by default which will result in undefined behavior.

dynamic_cast requires run-time type identification and that requires a database for every object with virtual functions. That will slow your program.

Also, typeid and dynamic_cast don't work for objects that have no virtual functions.

What are you trying top do exactly??
