check if float is integer

Question

I have a variable score wich increases over time I but would like to print only the integer ones. like 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 et cetera.

    score += 0.5
    if score.is_integer:
        print(score)

But actually every score is printed.

0.5
1.0
1.5
2.0
2.5
3.0
3.5
4.0
4.5
5.0
5.5
6.0
6.5
7.0
7.5
8.0
8.5
9.0
9.5

What do I miss here?

you need to call the function: `if score.is_integer():` – Robin Zigmond Feb 05 '22 at 13:45 — Robin Zigmond, Feb 05 '22 at 13:45

if int(score) == score:

this should work fine or just follow the comment by @Robin Zigmond ie.,

if score.is_integer():

no worries. But i think you can mark it as accepted. keep learning... – Irfan wani Feb 07 '22 at 11:18
BTW just an extra tip regarding the answer, if the score variable is some string which cannot be casted to an int (e.g, 'abcd'), it will throw an error, to prevent that, use try except – Irfan wani Dec 04 '22 at 02:59

I will do so. Thank you for the advice I will keep that in mind. – Din Dec 04 '22 at 10:06
