Hi,
I have a variable of type double.
I need to know if there is an integer number store there. How can I
test that ?
I also have a default precision for doing this operation.
In addition to the following kind of test, think about whether the
ceil() or floor() functions might provide you a test. Consider whether
using them leads to a more reliable test or a more efficient one.
The newer functions round(), trunc(), rint, and nearbyint() might also
provide you with suitable tests. The rint() might be what you want,
since it raises the "inexact" floating point exception if the argument
is not an integer. You might find that learning how to handle floating
point exceptions is not what you want to be doing now, though. If you
do, check your text for a discussion of the <fenv.hheader. If your
implementation does not provide such a header, then don't bother.

int i;
double base = 4080., testv, intpart, fraction;
for (i = 2; i <= 20; i++) {
testv = base / i;
printf("Testing %g: ", testv);
fraction = modf(testv, &intpart);
if (fraction) {
printf("fractional part = %g\n"
" so probably not an integer.\n"
"integer part = %g.\n\n", fraction, intpart);
}
else {
printf("fractional part test == 0,\n" " so an integer.\n"
"integer part = %g.\n\n", intpart);
}
}
return 0;
}
