Checking if a double value is an integer - Swift
SwiftIntDoubleSwift Problem Overview
I need to check if a double-defined variable is convertible to Int without losing its value. This doesn't work because they are of different types:
if self.value == Int(self.value)
where self.value
is a double.
Swift Solutions
Solution 1 - Swift
Try 'flooring' the double value then checking if it is unchanged:
let dbl = 2.0
let isInteger = floor(dbl) == dbl // true
Fails if it is not an integer
let dbl = 2.4
let isInteger = floor(dbl) == dbl // false
Solution 2 - Swift
check if % 1
is zero:
Swift 3:
let dbl = 2.0
let isInteger = dbl.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1) == 0
Swift 2:
let dbl = 2.0
let isInteger = dbl % 1 == 0
Solution 3 - Swift
Swift 3
if dbl.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1) == 0 {
//it's an integer
}
Solution 4 - Swift
There is now an Int(exactly:)
initializer that will tell you this directly without the problem of out-of-range whole numbers.
if Int(exactly: self) != nil { ... }
This will only return a non-nil value if the result can actually be stored in Int exactly. There are many Double values that are "integers" but will not fit in an Int. (See MartinR's comment on the accepted answer.)
Solution 5 - Swift
A small extension to check for this:
extension FloatingPoint {
var isInt: Bool {
return floor(self) == self
}
}
Then just do
let anInt = 1.isInt
let nonInt = 3.142.isInt
Solution 6 - Swift
Simple Solution
I suggest converting the value to Int
then to Double
and checking the new value
if value == Double(Int(value)) {
// The value doesn't have decimal part. ex: 6.0
} else {
// The value has decimal part. ex: 6.3
}
Solution 7 - Swift
The Swifty way:
let cals = [2.5, 2.0]
let r = cals.map{ Int(exactly: $0) == nil ? "\($0)" : "\(Int($0))" }
r // ["2.5", "2"]
Hide away in an extension:
extension Array where Element == Double {
var orExactly: [String] {
map{ Int(exactly: $0) == nil ? "\($0)" : "\(Int($0))" }
}
}
cals.orExactly
Solution 8 - Swift
Using mod (%) won't work anymore.
You can now use:
let dbl = 2.0
let isInteger = dbl.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1.0) == 0.0
Solution 9 - Swift
How about converting the Double to an Int (which will cut off decimals), then back to a Double, then comparing this to the original Double? For example:
var dbl:Double = 22/3
dbl == Double(Int(dbl))
// false: dbl = 7.33333... Double(Int(dbl)) = 7.0
dbl = 25
dbl == Double(Int(dbl))
// true: dbl = 25.0, Double(Int(dbl)) = 25.0
Solution 10 - Swift
BECAREFUL.
truncatingRemainder(dividingBy:) can be tricky. See below:
Swift 4:
//case 1
let reminder = (4.1 * 100).truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1.0)
//case 2
let reminder2 = (410).truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1.0)
// reminder = 0.9999999999999432
// reminder2 = 0
Solution 11 - Swift
Using @ColinE answer, I build an extension that handles when the Double cannot be converted to Int and another function that returns the Int:
extension Double {
func isInt() -> Bool {
guard Double(Int.min) <= self && self <= Double(Int.max) else {
return false
}
return floor(self) == self
}
func toInt() -> Int? {
guard Double(Int.min) <= self && self <= Double(Int.max) else {
return nil
}
return Int(self)
}
}
I hope this helps someone,

Solution 12 - Swift
extension FloatingPoint {
var isWholeNumber: Bool { isNormal ? self == rounded() : isZero }
}
let double = 3.0
double.isWholeNumber // true
print(3.15.isWholeNumber) // false
