If Statement for Decimal Value?

Unfortunately, most decimal fractions cannot be represented exactly as binary fractions. A consequence is that, in general, the decimal floating-point numbers you enter are only approximated by the binary floating-point numbers actually stored in the machine. This is a quote from the python article about this topic. You can google “floating point decimal issues” for more information. Basically, you should be doing this: local function trunc(x) return math.floor(x * 10) / 10 end if trun…

Check the float section

i don’t know if this is the best method but i do:

floatNumber = 12.34

if floatNumber == math.round(floatNumber) then
    print(floatNumber .." is an integer number!")
elseif floatNumber ~= math.round(floatNumber) then
    print(floatNumber .." is a float number!")
else
    print(floatNumber .." is not a number!")
end

Expected output:

12.34 is a float number!

New method:

local FloatNumber = 2.5

if FloatNumber % 1 == 0 then
    print("FloatNumber is an integer")
else
    print("FloatNumber is a float")
end
