Suppose i have a file in which i have strings and integers I want read that file and wants to store in an array. My problem is how to differciate whether the read one is string or integer. Because i need to manupulate the data .
if the file you are reading only contains strings and numbers then u can easily do it...(i.e. there are no alphanumeric words in the file) in this case 1) read every word from the file as a string ... 2) convert the string into a number using atof 3) if the input is a string the return value of the function atof is 0 otherwise the return value will be the number converted. 4) put a check in your program for the return value of the function and you are done
