Distinguishing between integers and doubles in a file
Hi, I'm quite new to reading and writing to files. But basically, I have an assignment where part of it requires me to determine whether a line from a file is an integer or double.
This is the part of the assignment I need help on:
Open the text file and read it's contents one line at a time. Determine if the line read from the file is a double or an integer. You are to place the integers in a vector called iNumbers and the doubles in a vector called dNumbers. The vector iNumbers should hold pointers to the Integer class and dNumbers should hold pointers to the Double class. When you add a value to one of the vectors you should use new and call the constructor that takes a string. For example:
iNumbers.push_back(new Integer("12.23"));
Sample of the file:
From what I understand, I think I write code that will read the lines in the file and if they have a "." then those will be doubles, but I am not sure as how to start with that.
Any help as to how I should get started would be very appreciated and thanks in advance.
