and it would not make very much sense to provide a method for this
class to test for integrality, since every such element is an Integer
by definition. I suspect that in your intended application, A will be
the result of come computation resulting in a real number, and you
want to test whether it is (at least approximately) integral. Here
are some ideas:
You are guessing almost right.
In my case A is an user-given angle value that will be passed to
trigonometric functions.
I want to guess if the user gave radiant or degree.
My first test if
if "pi" in repr(A)
I cannot believe that someone will provide an angle with "pi" in degree.
In that case, I deal with A as radian.
Then my second test is to see if A is integer. One almost never deal
with integer radian. So if the A is integer, I will deal with it as degree.
I'm expecting some problems with degree values given as
pi/2 * 180/pi
(result of a conversion)
But well, up to now my function works :)
Thanks
