mystr is "numberlike" if:   - mystr is not the empty string   - the first character in mystr is a digit   - the count of '.' in mystr is zero or one (can't have more than one decimal point in a number)   - every character in mystr is a digit ('0', '1', '2', ..., '9') or a decimal point ('.') Write a simple python code in python to define the function is_numberlike(mystr), which takes a string parameter and returns a boolean result.  If mystr is numberlike, the function returns True; otherwise, the function returns False. Hint: Check the first three requirements with decision statements, then use a for loop to iterate over mystr and check the every character is a digit or a dot

Question

mystr is "numberlike" if:

  - mystr is not the empty string

  - the first character in mystr is a digit

  - the count of '.' in mystr is zero or one (can't have more than one decimal point in a number)

  - every character in mystr is a digit ('0', '1', '2', ..., '9') or a decimal point ('.')

Write a simple python code in python to define the function is_numberlike(mystr), which takes a string parameter and returns a boolean result. 

If mystr is numberlike, the function returns True; otherwise, the function returns False.

Hint: Check the first three requirements with decision statements, then use a for loop to iterate over mystr and check the every character is a digit or a dot
