how to know if an expresion's result is a simple integer value or has any value after the float point ?

for example:
SET @c = Sqrt( @a / @b )
Is @c has something after the float point or maybe it is a nice integer ?
any idea ?

It depends on the datatype of @c

Declare @a int, @b int, @c float
select @a=10, @b=5
SET @c = Sqrt( @a / @b )
select @c
Go

Declare @a int, @b int, @c int
select @a=10, @b=5
SET @c = Sqrt( @a / @b )
select @c
