I have 2 values , one of them is coming from a file and one of them is coming from database. Both values are numeric . My code is Python, 2.7 version.
If I do use below code , it is working like charm
if int(val1) == int(val2) :
print "what ever action it will do"
My question is if there is a different way to make that check? Is this an acceptable way to do that or not?
if your database (or file reading module) gives you ints, you can omit one of the int-conversions, but otherwise it's fine.
You usually would skip the blank in front of the :.
If there is any possibility that one of your values might not be convertable to an int (e.g. any other string), you should use a try-except-block to handle that error.
I both are numeric, then type casting is not required. You can use like the below code:
if(val1==val2):
print "what ever action it will do"
Is this an acceptable way to do that or not?
It depend from previous code. On first glance it work.
is if there is a different way to make that check?
You can check it trick way:
In [1]: import sys
In [2]: val1 = "12.50"; val2 = 12.5
In [3]: (float(val1) == float(val2) and sys.stdout.write("what ever action it will do"))
what ever action it will do
