How can I find the largest (in size) of two integer types?

Question

For instance:

template 
void fun(const Type1 &v1, const Type2 &v2)
{
    largest::type val          


        

Answer 1

You can use the sizeof built-in function of c to get the memory size of the type. You can also call it on an instance of a type. For example:

return (sizeof(v1) > sizeof(v2));
