No.
I tested with
n = 10.0
You code returns '1'
My code returns '10'
Here again:
### CODE ###
def cut_decimals(float):
"""
input: floating number
output: number as string with zero decimals removed
"""
#print float-int(float)
#print '%.4f' %float
if float-int(float) != 0:
number = '%.4f' %float
number = number.replace('0.','X.')
number = number.replace('0','')
number = number.replace('X.','0.')
else:
number = '%.0f' %float
return number
#### END ###
