How do I find out if a numpy array contains integers?

Question

I know there is a simple solution to this but can\'t seem to find it at the moment.

Given a numpy array, I need to know if the array contains integers.

Answer 1

Numpy's issubdtype() function can be used as follows:

import numpy as np

size=(3,3)
A = np.random.randint(0, 255, size)
B = np.random.random(size)

print 'Array A:\n',  A
print 'Integers:', np.issubdtype(A[0,0], int)
print 'Floats:', np.issubdtype(A[0,0], float)

print '\nArray B:\n',  B
print 'Integers:', np.issubdtype(B[0,0], int)
print 'Floats:', np.issubdtype(B[0,0], float)

Results:

Array A:
[[  9 224  33]
 [210 117  83]
 [206 139  60]]
Integers: True
Floats: False

Array B:
[[ 0.54221849  0.96021118  0.72322367]
 [ 0.02207826  0.55162813  0.52167972]
 [ 0.74106348  0.72457807  0.9705301 ]]
Integers: False
Floats: True

PS. Keep in mind that the elements of an array are always of the same datatype.
