I'm reading from a file that contains text like
----
5
google_company
apple_fruit
pencil_object
4
test_one
tst_two
----
When I read the integer 5 I want to make sure it's an integer.
Likewise, for strings, I want to make sure if something is indeed a
string. So how do I check types in Python? I want to check following
types
1- integers
2- strings
3- testing types of a particular class
4- decimal/floats
Please excuse my ignorance & enlighten me. I will really appreciate
any help.
Item 3 requires special knowledge of the class.
You cannot be sure of the "original" data type. 5 looks like an integer,
but it's a string too. You may arrange your tests for "most strict" to
"less strict":
int
float
string
and for each of them, try to do the conversion. If you don't get an
exception, fine; else continue with the next one.
