Functions

How can I make a function which perform an arithmetic operation then performs a statement based on the type of number that is made. e.g. (decimal, integer)

example:

1
2
3
4
int divide(int x, int y)
{
    return x / y;
}


this is just a forward declaration of a function, but would I be able to make a function that looks at the number and can decipher whether it is a decimal or a negative number or just an integer?
You need to go into a little more detail, but I believe that you want, going off of your example, to use modulus. For Example:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
int divide(int x, int y) {
   // Need to make sure y isn't 0
   if (y == 0)
      return y;

   // Check to see if there is going to be a remainder
   if (x % y > 0)
      std::cout << "There was a remainder!\n";

   return (x / y);
}


If you provide a little more detail, I might be able to help you further.
