is_number_priyatham.is_number(in_value)

Checks if a value is a valid number.

Parameters

in_value

A variable of any type that we want to check is a number.

True/False depending on whether it was a number.

>>> is_number(1)
True
>>> is_number(1.0)
True
>>> is_number("1")
True
>>> is_number("1.0")

You can also pass more complex objects, these will all be False.
