Check variable type in C ++

So, I'm currently learning C ++ and decided to create a program that tests my skills that I have learned so far. Now in my code I want to check if the value the user enters is double, if it is not double, I will put an if loop and ask them to re-enter it. The problem is, how can I check what type of variable the user enters, if the user enters a char or a string, I can display an error message. Here is my code:

//cubes a user entered number
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

double cube(double n); //function prototype

int main()
{
    cout << "Enter the number you want to cube: "; //ask user to input number
    double user;
    cin >> user;  //user entering the number

    cout << "The cube of " << user << " is " << cube(user) << "." << endl; //displaying the cubed number

    return 0;
}

double cube (double n) //function that cubes the number
{
    return n*n*n; // cubing the number and returning it
}

Edit: I had to say that I was just starting out and had no idea about your code, but I will check your link. By the way, I have not yet learned how to work with templates, I learned about working with data, only in chapter 3 in my fifth release of C ++ Primer Plus.
