it's float cuz if one enters a decimal number float data type is required . int data type will not accept decimal

Every signed datatype uses the most significant bit (msb) as it's sign, and because using < or > is expensive when dealing with non integer values you could use bitwise-AND with the corresponding value. bool isNegative(double v) { unsigned long long* _v = (typeof(_v))&v; bool isNeg = *_v & ((typeof(*_v))1 << (8*sizeof(*_v) - 1)); delete _v; return isNeg; }

you can also use if(a>=0) as sometimes 0 is considered to be +ve
