Checking Digits in Python

how to check if something is a digit in python?

In Python, you can check if a string represents a digit using the `isdigit()` method. This method
returns `True` if all the characters in the string are digits and there is at least one character, otherwise
it returns `False`. Here's how you can use it:

python

s = "12345"
if s.isdigit():
print(f"'{s}' is a digit.")
else:
print(f"'{s}' is not a digit.")

This will output:

'12345' is a digit.

For a more comprehensive check that includes negative numbers and decimal points, you might use a
combination of checks or try to convert the string to a number:

For integer values (including negative numbers):

python

s = "-12345"
try:
int(s)
print(f"'{s}' is an integer.")
except ValueError:
print(f"'{s}' is not an integer.")

For floating-point numbers:

python

s = "-123.45"
try:
float(s)

print(f"'{s}' is a float.")
except ValueError:
print(f"'{s}' is not a float.")

These approaches cover a wider range of numeric representations compared to the `isdigit()`
method.
