title: How to write an if condition such that python should execute if statement if the element in a listcan be converted to type int
body: <p>How can i write the code for an if condition where i want to see if i can convert the type of an element in a list to int. If its possible, then if condition should be executed.Otherwise, it should go to else statement</p>
  <p>For eg:</p>
  <pre><code>lst=['@','#','^','%','20']
  
  ''' Now i am going to iterate through the list and check if i can convert the elements  to type int. If it can be converted then i know there is a number in the list and i do some operations on the number'''
  
  for ele in lst:
      if(type(int(ele)=='int'):
          #do some operation on the number eg:20/2 and print the value
      else:
          continue
  </code></pre>
  <p>Please give me an idea as to how to write the if condition.</p>
