here is code snippet i try to compile, which result to compile error:
convert const char * to int is invalid;

can anyone help debug this code ?
thanks in advance!

What I have tried:

C++
#include <iostream>
#include <typeinfo>

using namespace std;
int sums() { return 0; }

template <typename Type, typename... T>
int sums(const Type s, const T... args)
{
    int res = 0;
    if (typeid(s) == typeid(int))
    {
        res += s;
    }
    else
    {
        cout << "not int" << s << endl;
    }
    res += sums(args...);
    return res;
}

int main()
{
    cout << sums(1,"sir", 4) << endl;
    return 0;
}

i use constexpr fix it. -> constexpr (std::is_integral<t>::value)

The string "sir" is not a number: you can't add it to an integer directly, and there is no way to convert "sir" to a number at all!

but i use typeid to skip this error, only when the type is int can execute res += s; when the string "sir" will not execute int + int.

so the complier only check the type of parameter but not judge the if else suitation?

Yes, that's what the compiler will do when it instantiates the template. You can probably get around it by wrapping each argument in a class that effectively acts as a union.
