I was recently doing a question on geeks for geeks website where they required median of two sorted arrays, but they are asking answer to be a int if there are no digits after decimals or a float if there are digits after decimals. For example when giving median of even number arrays, we usually divide middle elements with two, so if middle elements are 2 and 4 then after division answer should be 3, or if elements are 3 and 4 answer should be 3.5. But if we use / operator in python it will return division of 2 and 4 as 3.0, and if we use // operator it will return division of 3 and 4 as 3 instead of 3.5. Is there any way to get around this instead of checking divisibility by 2.
You could try something like this potentially. Do the division as normal and then apply the following:
if int(x) == x: # will be true if x=5.0 but not if x = 5.5
x = int(x)
