how to check for floats in python code example

Example 1: python is float

def is_number(x):
    '''
        Takes a word and checks if Number (Integer or Float).
    '''
    try:
        # only integers and float converts safely
        num = float(x)
        return True
    except ValueError as e: # not convertable to float
        return False

Example 2: check if float is integer python

>>> def isFloatInteger(float):
>>> 	return float.is_integer()
>>> isFloatInteger(0.62)
False
>>> isFloatInteger(1.00)
True
