Now, this is not the nicest way to do it but it'll work. I can look at the type of the value of base and compare it to the type of an actual float and see, are they the same?

这不是最好的办法但它确实有用,我可以得到底的值的类型然后,和一个真的浮点数的类型比比,看他们是不是一样？

I can't rely on Professor Guttag if I give this- if this code to him, I can't rely on him to type in a float. Actually I can, because he's a smart guy, but in general, I can't rely on the user-- I wouldn't do it right to see if you did.

当Guttag使用这段代码的时候-,我不能相信他一定会输入一个浮点数,实际上我能因为他很聪明，但是总体上来讲，别相信用户一定会按照规则来-,我会故意做错来试试你的程序的。
