You'll want to round the float, if there is one. Below is the code you should try using. I have used a Try/Except statement for this to test if the number is a float and then round it. Add this under your input for var number1

 try:
    number1 = int(number1)
 except:
    number1 = float(number1)
    number1 = round(number1)

Or if you want to completely stop the game if a float is entered do this: 

 try:
    number1 = int(number1)
 except:
    break

Hope this helps.
