print either int or float - How?

[Denial]

Hello

I want to print number as whole if there is no decimal point and if there is decimal point, then print with decimal point.

For example,

length = float(input("Enter length: "))
width = float(input("Enter width: "))
total = length * width
print(f"The area of {length}x{width} is {total}")

The o/p be like

Output:
Enter length: 30
Enter width: 50
The area of 30.0x50.0 is 1500.0

OR

Output:
Enter length: 25
Enter width: 35.5
The area of 25.0x35.5 is 887.5

I want the output to be in whole number if there are no decimal points and in float if there are decimal points, like the following

Output:
The area of 30x50 is 1500
The area of 25x35.5 is 887.5

How do I format my print statement? Is that even possible?

Thanks

There are several approaches:
e.g. you can test the variable for it's "type".

a = 3.5
b = 5
if type(a) == float:
    print(a)
if type(b) == int:
    print(b)

or you could do

if int(b) == b:
    print(int(b))
