Dear all,
I have a simple template to convert its argument to a string:
template<typena me T>
string AtoStr(T t){
ostringstream sstrm;
sstrm << t;
return sstrm.str();
}
This is simple with stringstream. But lets say if the argument is a
double 1.0 or an int 1
The returned value is the same "1" without decimal point. I guess the
library is optimizing the output on this one. But I need to do sth to
cope with this:
+ if the type of the argument is an int, then it should convert it to
"1"
+ if the type of the argument is a double like 1.0 then it should
convert it to "1.0".
I am not so sure if output manipulators can help me.
Best regards,

Why bother. Specialise or overload.

Hmm, I will read on template specialization. Is that right

By the way, regarding the subject of your post: templates are compile-
time so runtime typechecking won't do you any good since all the
decisions are already made when the app runs.

Yes, since the bahaviour when the argument is an int is what you want
all you need to do is to fix the behaviour when the value is a double.
This you can do by proividing special double-version of the method:
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
template<typena me T>
std::string AtoStr(T t){
std::ostringstr eam sstrm;
sstrm << t;
return sstrm.str();
}
std::string AtoStr(double t){
std::ostringstr eam sstrm;
int i = t;
if (i == t)
sstrm << std::fixed << std::setprecisi on(1) << t;
else
sstrm << t;
return sstrm.str();
}
int main()
{
std::cout << AtoStr(1.0) << "\n";
std::cout << AtoStr(1.13456) << "\n";
std::cout << AtoStr("sdtfg") << "\n";
}
The if (i == t) business is just to check if the number is an integer
(not the type) in which case we don't need to print more than one 0
after the dot. You might want to work a bit at how you want other
doubles represented (number of digits and so on).
Notice that this does not work for floats. You can use this for floats:
std::string AtoStr(float t)
{
return AtoStr(double(t ));
}

Seems this is the right method.
You can make use of iomanip function to control the input and output.

Wouldn't this be better as:
if ( typeid( i ) == typeid( double ) )
No, the above will always be false since i is an int. The purpose if
the above is to check if the value of t is an integer (not of type
integer) in which case we only want to add a decimal sign and one
zero. If it isn't we will use more precision.
