    if ((input >= min) && (input <= max))

    Is this what you're asking?

    I'm not picking up what you're putting down. What exactly are you asking?

    i think he means if they enter a character instead of a number

    Are you asking... If I ask for a numerical input, how do I verify it's a number and not a letter?

    I think he's asking how to represent java's NaN (not a number). Kinda like 7/0 or something like that.

    You're asking...If I ask for input, how do I verify it's a letter and not a number?

    if ( (((int)intput) < 176) && (((int)input) > 185) )

    where input is a char. That's a lot of parenthesis.

    There might be a better way though.

    Is this you're looking for?

    ----------
    code :
    ----------

    #include <iostream.h>

    typedef unsigned long int lint;

    int main()
    {
    lint input;
    lint num = 100;
    lint max = 4294967295;

    cout<<"Give a number : "<<endl;
    cin>>input;

    if ( ((input >= 1) && (input <= max)) && (input != num) )
    cout<<"Ok";
    else
    cout<<"Not Ok";

    return 0;
    }

    hmm

    i dont know if there's a better way of doing this, but..

    here's how i would do it :-

    get the input to an array...

    check out through each element of the array and see
    if there's atleast 'one' element that is other than
    0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 (and) '.' (if you're also considering
    floating points) .. and '-' ... and so on... (note that
    - and . can't repeat in the array)

    (i've done this before... let me check if i still have it )
    meanwhile, try it with these clues..

    Searching around on MSDN i found this function:

    Code:
    #include <ctype.h>
    
    //..
    
    if( isdigit(input) != 0 )
    {
    	// input is a digit
    } else {
    	// input is a character
    }
    "There are three kinds of people in the world...
    Those that can count and those that can't."
