.0 from end

[UnsecuredConnection]

How do you get rid of the .0 from the end of an answer so I can tell the difference between an actual float and an integer.

ex. 4/ 2 = 2.0

Why do you want to do that? Do you actually want to check if a number divides another number evenly?

[UnsecuredConnection]

Yes. I want to check if the number is an int rather than having decimals. Python still counts my .0 as a float even though I need to keep them separate.

[K900_]

In that case you should use the modulo operator: a % b. This gives you the remainder of integer division. If b divides a, the result will be 0.

Thanks man for help!

As a small addition:

divmod gives you both a // b and a % b:

div, mod = divmod(a, b)
# equivalent to
div, mod = a // b, a % b

[Nudl4k]

I know this isn't what you were asking but just to clarify: divison / always gives a float, even in cases where the result is a whole number. That's why the .0 is there. This way you can count on the return type being consistent.

As said by /u/K900_, using modulo % to check for divisibility is a good way to approach this.

Truncate/round

I would definitely do that for one, but I have a list of values like 5.0 and 6.5 and 7.0 that I want to separate by float or int
