hello, My program works fine but I want every time that the user add a character int the calculation section the program will print an error message and will ask the user again... I have try a lot of different things but nothing helps me... for example static_cast() and other fnc that I found and convert the stings inti double but nothing works, so If you have any ideas please let me know!! Below the code of my program....Thank you very much!!
Best Regards!!!!!!

WaltP I have search on website before I post my problem, it's a little bit of confiused... I have try and used

found=str.find_first_not_of("char")

but isn't works for me, also I try

boost/lecicon

library but for some reason the compiler isn't regognize the specific fun (maybe is win library I don't know) can you please be more specific?? I don't want to post the solution.. Just a hit for me because I am stuck....
Thank you anyway!!!

very simple with stringstream. for example you want to use int from string and you dont know how to convert it. use this.

string int_in_string ;
getline(cin, int_in_string);
int int_from_string;
stringstream(int_in_string) >> int_from_string ;
cout << int_from_string;
## normal int

You can try using "unsigned" but you will not be able to use negative numbers as well or you can give the numbers a range and anything outside the range will produce an error

commented: Worthless advice -4

I have confused!! :P sorry guys.... Let me try to add your stringstream into one of my fncs...

void addition() //function for the addition operation...
{

int int_from_string;
string int_from_string ;
string int_in_string ;
double total;

cout << "**********"<<endl;
cout << "*Addition*"<<endl;
cout << "**********"<<endl; // welcome screen
cout <<endl;
cout << "Enter 2 numbers to calculate: "<<endl;
getline(cin, int_in_string); // ask from the user to at 2 numbers
getline(cin, int_form_string);

stringstream(int_in_string) >> int_from_string ;
if ((stringstream!=int_from_string) || (stromgstream!=int_in_string))
{
cout <<"Error input.. Please select only numbers.."<<endl;
}
else

total = int_in_string + int_in_string; // the program makes the calculation of the
sum += total; // save the value and keep
 
cout <<"The total sum of "<<int_in_string<<" + "<<int_form_string<<" = "<<total<<endl; //prints out the 
cout << "The total of sum is now "<<sum<<endl;
} // end brackets of addition function....
