Check for an integer

[ranjit]

Is it possible to do a calculation and check if the result is a whole number?

For example:

(a) 2004/4 = 501

(b) 2007/4 = 501.75

I'd like to do the above division and do something in the case of (a) and something else in the case of (b).

Any ideas please?

use remainder operator %

if ((year % 4) == 0) print "may be leapyear"
else print "not leapyear"

Hi

Like p5wizard wrote. Or you can use [tt]int()[/tt] :

if (year/4==int(year/4)) print "may be leapyear"
else print "not leapyear"
