# std::is_arithmetic

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | types

Defined in header `<type_traits>` |  |
template< class T > struct is_arithmetic; |  | (since C++11)

If `T` is an arithmetic type (that is, an integral type or a floating-point type), provides the member constant `value` equal true. For any other type, `value` is false.

## Inherited from std::integral_constant

### Member constants

value [static] | true if `T` is an arithmetic type , false otherwise (public static member constant)

### Member functions

operator bool | converts the object to bool, returns `value` (public member function)

### Member types

Type | Definition
`value_type` | `bool`
`type` | std::integral_constant<bool, value>

### [edit] Notes

Arithmetic types are the types for which the built-in arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /) are defined (possibly in combination with the usual arithmetic conversions)

Specializations of std::numeric_limits are provided for all arithmetic types.

### [edit] Possible implementation

    template< class T >
    struct is_arithmetic : std::integral_constant<bool,
                                                  std::is_integral<T>::value ||
                                                  std::is_floating_point<T>::value> {};

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <iostream>
    #include <type_traits>

    class A {};

    int main()
    {
        std::cout << std::boolalpha;
        std::cout << std::is_arithmetic<A>::value << '\n';
        std::cout << std::is_arithmetic<int>::value << '\n';
        std::cout << std::is_arithmetic<int&>::value << '\n';
        std::cout << std::is_arithmetic<int*>::value << '\n';
        std::cout << std::is_arithmetic<float>::value << '\n';
        std::cout << std::is_arithmetic<float&>::value << '\n';
        std::cout << std::is_arithmetic<float*>::value << '\n';
    }

Output:

    false
    true
    false
    false
    true
    false
    false
