Hi! I need help with Python 3.

Hey, guys! I need your help writing the program. Can help compile a regular expression to see if the user input is an integer. (Examples: 4, -4, 243255)

A digit can be referred to either with "\d" or "[0-9]". If you need to escape a character (for example, "-"), use a backslash, so "\-" in a regular expression will mean "-" (although with - it's just optional). Optional values have put a question mark afterwards (so "tables?" will accept table & tables); and to show that something should occur 1 or more times, put a + sign after it. Five characters. I think you can conjure it yourself

Cbr✔[ Most active ] Two of your three answers are wrong. print("—".isalpha()) # False print("42".isalpha()) # False try: int("42") print("True") except ValueError: print("False") # True print(isinstance(type(set("42".split(" "))), int)) # False

Cbr✔[ Most active ] The fact that isalpha() returns False doesn't give us any information about it being a number. print("—".isalpha()) # False, not an alpha # Not a number either Also, your new third method doesn't work for negative numbers.
