[RESOLVED] How to detect if a variable is a Double, Int, Float Or A String <Beginner>

[Dylan3dx]

Hey, what is going on guys. I Just thought of something and to see if it is possible. I was gonna see what kind of method or function I would have to use to detect and see if a user input entered a string, double, or a float. Say the user was to enter a word and it cannot be a float, double, nor an int. Only a letter or word. Then it prompts to you saying that you cannot enter a number or number with decimals in this dialog. Also vice-versa. I know that a while or for loop would probably make it easier. I just dont know were to find documentations on different functions and classes. Mostly how to use them with custom made variables like I'm trying to detect with. Anything will help.
