I want to check if a string is numeric.
For example:
-
"abcd123"should returnfalse. -
"1.4"or"240"should returntrue.
I thought about using ParseInt and ParseFloat (from the strconv package), but am not sure if that is the right way.

Well, it's certainly a right way.
You don't need to use ParseInt, though. ParseFloat will do the job.
func isNumeric(s string) bool {
_, err := strconv.ParseFloat(s, 64)
return err == nil
}
