Is there a way to test if an Object element variable is an integer, string, or char string?

Are you talking about C# or something? C++ is too strongly typed to cleanly support a standard Object type, but Java and C# do.

I'm using it in C++, in the context of a template for a binary tree based dictionary. The object is an element in a node. In the dictionary, I'm trying to test the element to determine if it is an int or string.
