Is it possible to print a variable's type in standard C++?

Question

For example:

int a = 12;
cout << typeof(a) << endl;

Expected output:

int

Answer 1

Don't forget to include

I believe what you are referring to is runtime type identification. You can achieve the above by doing .

#include 
#include 

using namespace std;

int main() {
  int i;
  cout << typeid(i).name();
  return 0;
}
