Numpy: Check if float array contains whole numbers

Question

In Python, it is possible to check if a float contains an integer value using n.is_integer(), based on this QA: How to check if a float value is a

Answer 1

From what I can tell, there is no such function that returns a boolean array indicating whether floats have a fractional part or not. The closest I can find is np.modf which returns the fractional and integer parts, but that creates two float arrays (at least temporarily), so it might not be best memory-wise.

If you're happy working in place, you can try something like:

>>> np.mod(x, 1, out=x)
>>> mask = (x == 0)

This should save memory versus using round or floor (where you have to keep x around), but of course you lose the original x.

The other option is to ask for it to be implemented in Numpy, or implement it yourself.
