std::is_floating_point

Checks whether T is a floating-point type. Provides the member constant value which is equal to true, if T is the type float, double, long double, including any cv-qualified variants. Otherwise, value is equal to false.

The behavior of a program that adds specializations for is_floating_point or is_floating_point_v (since C++17) is undefined.

Possible implementation

template< class T >
struct is_floating_point
     : std::integral_constant<
         bool,
         std::is_same<float, typename std::remove_cv<T>::type>::value  ||
         std::is_same<double, typename std::remove_cv<T>::type>::value  ||
         std::is_same<long double, typename std::remove_cv<T>::type>::value
     > {};

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
 
class A {};
 
int main() 
{
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << std::is_floating_point<A>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_floating_point<float>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_floating_point<float&>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_floating_point<double>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_floating_point<double&>::value << '\n';
    std::cout << std::is_floating_point<int>::value << '\n';
}
