Creating array of data types

[Madhur]

Hi All,

I would like you help me in creating an array of data types.

I am interested in look at the the data type which looks like this

Array a[10]={int,float,cha r,int*......... ............... ......},

so that a[0] should return me int and a[1] should return me
float..which helps me in runtime type casting.

I do not know how to create such an array. If i create so what would
be the data type of "Array".
This is basically a variable to "data type" conversion.

Or is there any better way to do this.

Looking keenly for the response..

Regards,
Madhur

There is a "variant" approach:

struct variant {
enum {vt_int, vt_float, vt_char, vt_intp, ...} type;
union {
int v_i;
float v_f;
char v_c;
int * v_ip;
// ...
};
};

then you can write code like this:
variant a[10];
a[0].type = vt_int; a[0].v_i = 4;
a[1].type = vt_char; a[1].v_c = 'f';
....
