std:: is_arithmetic

std::is_arithmetic is a UnaryTypeTrait .

If T is an arithmetic type (that is, an integral type or a floating-point type) or a cv-qualified version thereof, provides the member constant value equal to true . For any other type, value is false .

If the program adds specializations for std::is_arithmetic or std::is_arithmetic_v (since C++17) , the behavior is undefined.

Notes

Arithmetic types are the built-in types for which the arithmetic operators ( + , - , * , / ) are defined (possibly in combination with the usual arithmetic conversions).

Specializations of std::numeric_limits are provided for all arithmetic types.

Possible implementation

template<class T>
struct is_arithmetic : std::integral_constant<bool,
                                              std::is_integral<T>::value ||
                                              std::is_floating_point<T>::value> {};

Example

#include <atomic>
#include <cstddef>
#include <type_traits>
 
class A {};
 
enum class B : int { e };
 
static_assert(
    std::is_arithmetic_v<bool>            == true  and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<char>            == true  and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<char const>      == true  and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<int>             == true  and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<int const>       == true  and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<float>           == true  and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<float const>     == true  and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<std::size_t>     == true  and
 
    std::is_arithmetic_v<char&>           == false and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<char*>           == false and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<int&>            == false and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<int*>            == false and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<float&>          == false and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<float*>          == false and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<A>               == false and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<B>               == false and
    std::is_arithmetic_v<decltype(B::e)>  == false and
