python convert to int if possible code example

Example 1: check if string can be converted to int python

# CHECKING IF INT
variable='3'
try:
    int(variable)
    # this will execute if it is integer
    print('You typed an int')
except ValueError:
  	# otherwise this will execute
    print('You did not type an int')

# CHECKING IF FLOAT
variable='3'
try:
    float(variable)
    print('You typed a float')
except ValueError:
    print('You did not type a float')

Example 2: python test if you can convert to int

if element.isdigit():
  newelement = int(element)

Example 3: parse int python

value1 = "10"
value2 = 10.2

print(int(value1))
print(int(value2))

Example 4: python test if you can convert to int

def isfloat(value):
  try:
    float(value)
    return True
  except ValueError:
    return False
