All we're saying is that the simplest and most accurate way to
determine whether a string can be converted to an int or a float is to
try converting it and see if it succeeds. If it fails, it will raise
an exception that you can catch using the try-except syntax. Here's
what your checkint function might look like:
def checkint(a):
try:
int(a)
except ValueError:
return False
else:
return True
