I have tried this code and it hasn't worked if I enter a number I am getting an error with code. Does anyone have a solution to why it not working?


def main():
    string=int(input("How many strings do you want to enter? "))

    for num in range(1,string+1):
        value=float(input("Enter string %a: "%num))
        print("No of positive whole numbers entered is:",IsPos(val)) 
        


def IsPos(val):
    counterVal=0;

    for whole_number in value:

        if val.is_integer() and val>=0:
            counterVal+=1

    return counterVal;

main()

You are casting the input to `float` and then test whether it's an `int`. – timgeb Feb 28 '22 at 10:06
Your input is `float` but you test if type is `int`, I guess it could be your issue – Christophe Feb 28 '22 at 10:06
@timgeb Whenever I remove the `float` it still doesn't work :( – Barbra Feb 28 '22 at 10:09
@Barbra nobody said you should remove the `float`. – timgeb Feb 28 '22 at 10:10
@timgeb What should I do I am a little confused – Barbra Feb 28 '22 at 10:11
@Barbra did you read the duplicate question? – timgeb Feb 28 '22 at 10:12
@timgeb I am still confused after looking through that question where should I enter this statement `float.is.integer` into the code above – Barbra Feb 28 '22 at 10:17
... replace `if type(string) == int` with `string.is_integer()`. – timgeb Feb 28 '22 at 10:19

and please use a less confusing variable name than `string` when you mean a number. – timgeb Feb 28 '22 at 10:20
@timgeb would value be a better name – Barbra Feb 28 '22 at 10:23
@Barbra yes, or `number` – timgeb Feb 28 '22 at 10:23
@Barbra no problem. I suggest you try to figure out why your approach did not work. – timgeb Feb 28 '22 at 10:32
@timgeb Can you help me with the editted problem above – Barbra Mar 01 '22 at 12:23
@Barbra please post a new question if you have a new question – timgeb Mar 01 '22 at 12:24
