My function does not split the decimal number to two parts, instead it prints ERROR

Question

def Answer():
     A = var1.get()
     if "." not in A and A.isdigit():
         Right1.insert(END,str(A)+"est un entier")

     elif "." in A  and A.isdigit():

          B,C = A.split(".")
          Right1.insert(END,str(B)+"est decimal" + str(C)+"est entier")
    else :
         Right1.insert(END,"ERROR")

That is my function Answer for my thinker. When I enter an Interger(12), I see the "Integer(12) est un entier". But when I enter a decimal number (12.7), it prints: ERROR instead of splitting the number to two part. I should have on my screen: "12 est decimal" "7 est entier". Any ideas where I am doing wrong?

I am trying to split in two parts a decimal numbers. So I have to check if the number has a point, if it does , I devise the number then. I am not checking if . is a digit. — edmundo, Sep 28 '17 at 14:42
You are checking if `.` is a digit in your code, but you shouldn't be. Check my answer for a more pythonic solution. — Ethan Field, Sep 28 '17 at 14:43

You should check to see what type the values are before taking an action. 12 is an int and 12.7 is a float.

So using that information we can do the below:

a = [12, 12.7]

for i in a:
    if type(i) == int:
        print(str(i)+" est un entier.")
    elif type(i) == float:
        print(str(i).split(".")[0]+" est decimal "+str(i).split(".")[1]+" est entier.")

Thank you! I understand better now. – edmundo Sep 28 '17 at 14:49
Maybe use PEP8 for indention. – Mike - SMT Sep 28 '17 at 14:50
@Mike-SMT Yeah my Python started indenting differently today. I must have pressed something, need to change it. – Ethan Field Sep 28 '17 at 14:51
