std::is_floating_point is a UnaryTypeTrait .

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 , or any extended floating-point types ( std:: float16_t , std:: float32_t , std:: float64_t , std:: float128_t , or std:: bfloat16_t ) (since C++23) , including any cv-qualified variants. Otherwise, value is equal to false .

If the program adds specializations for std::is_floating_point or std::is_floating_point_v , the behavior is undefined.

Template parameters

T - a type to check

Helper variable template

template < class T >
constexpr bool is_floating_point_v = is_floating_point < T > :: value ;
(since C++17)

Inherited from std:: integral_constant

Member constants

value
[static]
true if T is a floating-point type (possibly cv-qualified), false otherwise
(public static member constant)

Member functions

operator bool
converts the object to bool , returns value
(public member function)
operator()
(C++14)
returns value
(public member function)

Member types

Possible implementation

template<class T>
struct is_floating_point
     : std::integral_constant<
         bool,
         // Note: standard floating-point types
         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
         // Note: extended floating-point types (C++23, if supported)
         || std::is_same<std::float16_t, typename std::remove_cv<T>::type>::value
         || std::is_same<std::float32_t, typename std::remove_cv<T>::type>::value
         || std::is_same<std::float64_t, typename std::remove_cv<T>::type>::value
         || std::is_same<std::float128_t, typename std::remove_cv<T>::type>::value
         || std::is_same<std::bfloat16_t, typename std::remove_cv<T>::type>::value
     > {};

Example

#include <type_traits>
 
class A {};
static_assert(!std::is_floating_point_v<A>);
 
static_assert(std::is_floating_point_v<float>);
static_assert(!std::is_floating_point_v<float&>);
static_assert(std::is_floating_point_v<double>);
static_assert(!std::is_floating_point_v<double&>);
static_assert(!std::is_floating_point_v<int>);
 
int main() {}
