How do I check if raw input is integer in python 2.7?

Question

Is there a method that I can use to check if a raw_input is an integer?

I found this method after researching in the web:

print isinsta         


        

Answer 1

Try this method .isdigit(), see example below.

user_input = raw_input()
if user_input.isdigit():
    print "That is a number."

else:
    print "That is not a number."

If you require the input to remain digit for further use, you can add something like:

new_variable = int(user_input)
