How do I check that a number is float or integer?

Question

How to find that a number is float or integer?

1.25 --> float  
1 --> integer  
0 --> integer  
0.25 --> float

Answer 1

check for a remainder when dividing by 1:

function isInt(n) {
   return n % 1 === 0;
}

If you don't know that the argument is a number you need two tests:

function isInt(n){
    return Number(n) === n && n % 1 === 0;
}

function isFloat(n){
    return Number(n) === n && n % 1 !== 0;
}
