【Cherno的C++视频】Multiple types of data in a single variable in C++

#include <iostream>
#include <variant>//c++17

// how to store multiple types of data in a single variable.

// a good example of using variant.
enum class ErrorCode
{
	None = 0, NotFound = 1, NoAccess = 2
};
std::variant<std::string, int> ReadFileAsString()
{
	return {};
}

int main(void)
{
	// variant: requires us to list all of our types.
	std::variant<std::string, int> data;

	std::cout << sizeof(int) << "\n";			//4
	std::cout << sizeof(std::string) << "\n";	//28
	std::cout << sizeof(data) << "\n";			//32, technically speaking in this way, union is better.

	data = "Groot";
	std::cout << std::get<std::string>(data) << "\n";
	std::cout << data.index() << "\n";			//0->string

	// get_if: check to see if it's the proper type
	if (auto value = std::get_if<std::string>(&data))
	{
		std::string& v = *value;
	}
	else
	{
	}

	data = 2;
	data.index();
	std::cout << std::get<int>(data) << "\n";
	std::cout << data.index() << "\n";          //1->int

	std::cin.get();
