#6087 — Re: Is there a better way to solve this?

You can use sizeof function,
>>> a=12234
>>> b=23456.8
>>> a.__sizeof__()
12
>>> b.__sizeof__()
16
So sizeof int is 12 bytes and float is 16 bytes

Who are you talking to, and what question did they ask?

Please always quote enough of the post that you are replying to to 
establish context.

You shouldn't be calling special methods directly (except under unusual 
circumstances). That's like calling s.__len__() instead of len(s).

The public function for getting the size of an object is in the sys 
module:

sys.getsizeof(a)
