Do you mean float?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 >>> num = 1.2345

>>> isinstance(num, float)

True

>>>

I guess you could do the following test:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
a = 1.23

if(a%1 == 0):

 print "integer"

else:

 print "float"

Would ofcourse fail for 1.0 etc, but then I guess it doesn't matter if its float

-kudos
