Is there an int in the string?

So I've been searching around, and for some reason I haven't been able to find anything. I have found a lot of stuff that separates a lot of the code, but not like a full program. I need to find out, if there's ANY, int or float in the string. 

name = input("What's your name? ")

for temp in name:
    name_splitted = temp
    print(name_splitted)

if any(name_splitted) is int:
    print("That's not a valid name.")
else:
    print("Alright then.")

Hope you can help.

Isn't this essentially the same as the question you asked 2 days ago?

You don't need the loop with "name_splitted", you can just incorporate that same test here:

if any(char.isdigit() for char in name):

Yeah I know, but I tried it and did some different kinds of it and I couldn't get it working. The code you posted above helped and works perfectly, but I got one question what does "char"? Thanks for the help.

The term "char" represents any single character in the name.

If you translated that code into English, it would be "if any character in the name is a digit".
