how do i get this right (python)

Question

name =input("Enter a name ")
if name is int:
print ("that is number")
else name is str:
print("Hi " + name)

what i'm trying to is user enter a name but if user put int or number i wanna get a reply saying that's a number and keep looping until user put name . so how do i get it right?

Answer 1

while(True):
name = input("Enter a name ")
try:
x = int(name)
x+=1
print("\n" + name + " is a number")
except:
break
print("\nHi " + name)

Try this↑: it tries to convert and increment the input. If that fails, the input must be a string.
You can use float() instead of int() to check for inputs like 1.23.

Answer 2

Not sure how to do it in python exactly but the logic behind this would be:
name = input("Enter a name ")
while (name is int)
print("That is a number")
name = input("Enter a name ")
print("Hi " + name)

Answer 3

Glad I could help :)
#+=1 can't be converted to an int so it stays as a string. If you want a name with no numbers in, you could create a boolean method to check every letter of name, and put it in an if statement.
