Check if a string contains a number

by

You can use any function, with the str.isdigit function, like this

def has_numbers(inputString):
    return any(char.isdigit() for char in inputString)

has_numbers("I own 1 dog")
# True
has_numbers("I own no dog")
# False

Alternatively you can use a Regular Expression, like this

import re
def has_numbers(inputString):
    return bool(re.search(r'\d', inputString))

has_numbers("I own 1 dog")
# True
has_numbers("I own no dog")
# False
