Value instead of .toFloat

[NotYourFan]

Hey i have the following code:

QVariant x = .......;

return x.toFloat();

I read the x AND the type from a JSON-File.
So i wanted very dynamically, i search something like
pseudocode:

QVariant x = .....; 
return x.type(type read from the JSON-File as a String);

Do you have a possibility where i can set the type as a String ?

@NotYourFan

return x.type(type read from the JSON-File as a String);

How should that work? Your function needs a definite return type, so you cannot decide within the function what you want to return.

You can of course, convert the variant to a string always...

Hey @aha_1980,

i think there is a way with "type" ... but i dont know exactly.

I want to set the type dynamically ....

But thank you for your request

@NotYourFan said in Value instead of .toFloat:

No, in C++ this is not possible. That's why variants exist in the first place.
