Answer 1

use 'is_integer' method
(0.2).is_integer() #False
(2.0).is_integer() #True

Answer 2

Your a will always be float (since you turn it into one) except you can't float the input in the first place.

Your b will always be an int, because you use //. And if you used / it would always be a float, since Python will give you a float whenever you divide.

So this is not yet the way to solve your task!

Answer 3

Not much, only shortened, what you did worked and was very readable. Another way is to change the user input to integer.
a=float(input())
b=int(a)
print("integer" if a==b else "float")
