Answer 1

That is a great question!
Let's see what The Python Standard Library says about it:

"Objects of different types, except different numeric types, never compare equal."

So, we can see that two variables of numeric types can be considered equal; in this case, a integer and a float (100 and 100.0). This is why the result is 100.0.

Answer 2

By the way, if you turn all the elif clauses into if clauses, you will see the code returning "Number is 100" as well.

Answer 3

Try something like this: turn the number into a string. If it is a float, it will keep the dot and the zero.
