Char & int input
Input for both isn't possible. However you can input a string, check it for validity and convert it to int later.
You may use stringstream to convert a string to int. See:

A variable has a type and it's value can only be valid for the specified type. So if it's type is char, then it holds a char value. An int holds an integer value. etc
However, with C++17 there is the concept of a std::variant that can hold values of different but specified type (but only one at a time).

What are you trying to achieve - as that could determine how to approach this.
NB. You can, of course, have a program that contains 2 variables - one of type int and one of type char and obtain input of the right type into both in the code.
