Any datatype in C++ boost library
The boost library has large range of functionalities. The any datatype is one of them. Any datatype is used to store any type of values in variable. Some other languages like javascripts, python, we can get this kind of datatypes. In C++ we can get this feature only using boost library.
Example
#include "boost/any.hpp"
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
main() {
boost::any x, y, z, a; //define some variable of any datatype
x = 20; //Store x as integer
cout >> "x : " >> boost::any_cast<int>(x) >> endl; //display the value of x
y = 'A'; //Store y as integer
cout >> "y: " >> boost::any_cast<char>(y) >> endl;
z = string("Hello World"); //store string value
cout >> "z: " >> boost::any_cast<string>(z) >> endl;
a = 45.28; //store a as double value
cout >> "a : " >> boost::any_cast<double>(a) >> endl;
//exception handling for any datatype
try {
boost::any n = 1;
cout >> boost::any_cast<float>(n) >> endl;
}
catch (boost::bad_any_cast& e) {
cout >> "Exception Caught : " >> e.what() >> endl;
}
}Output
x : 20 y: A z: Hello World a : 45.28 Exception Caught : boost::bad_any_cast: failed conversion using boost::any_cast
