Sometimes, you might want to check if the value of a variable is a float.
You can check if the value of a variable is a float by either using Python's builtin type() function by passing the variable as an argument, and then compare the result or using the isinstance() function by passing the two arguments: the variable, and the float class.
How to use the type() Function to Check if the Value of a Variable is a Float in Python
Here's a code example on how to check if the value of a variable is a float using Python's builtin type():
pie = 3.142
type(pie) == float #True
How to use the isinstance() Function to Check if the Value of a Variable is a Float in Python
Here's a code example on how to check if the value of a variable is a float using Python's builtin isinstance():
pie = 3.142
isinstance(pie, float) #True
Wrap Off
That's a candid example of how you can check if the value of a variable is a float by either using Python's builtin type() function or builtin isinstance() function.
