How to check if string input is a number? [duplicate]

Answer 1

try this! it worked for me even if I input negative numbers.

  def length(s):
    return len(s)

   s = input("Enter the String: ")
    try:
        if (type(int(s)))==int :
            print("You input an integer")

    except ValueError:      
        print("it is a string with length " + str(length(s)))
