Answer 2

In Python it is easy: input is always string, so if you want something else, you need to convert that string.

It comes down to if the string even contains something convertible: if you try int('hello'), you will get an error.

Like Muhd Khairul Amirin Bin Yaacob said, you can use exception handling:

data = input()
try:
data = float(data)
except:
print('Enter a NUMBER I said!')

So when float leads to an error, the except-branch will be executed.

Answer 3

You can use exception handling

Answer 4

But c doesn't have exception handlers

Answer 5

Yeah in C it's all messier... :) Just trying to get a handle of that myself right now.
