Comments on: Using Python to determine if a number is whole or decimal http://threadbarecanvas.com/tutorial/using-python-will-determine-if-a-number-is-whole-or-decimal/ Online Journal of James Hogan the Web Developer Thu, 29 Mar 2012 17:09:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nyan Cat http://threadbarecanvas.com/tutorial/using-python-will-determine-if-a-number-is-whole-or-decimal/comment-page-1/#comment-77 Nyan Cat Wed, 24 Aug 2011 01:41:23 +0000 http://threadbarecanvas.com/?p=152#comment-77 I seem to have found and easier way of doing this. Using the int(x) built in function, things can be done the same way. Here is my code: #Python 3.x #Get the users integer number = (input("Enter an integer")) #int() takes away the decimal. If the decimal is taken away from a number is equal to that number, there was no decimal to start with!! Therefore it was whole. If not, then it's a decimal if int(number) == number: print("whole number") else: print("decimal number") I seem to have found and easier way of doing this.

print(“whole number”)
