# isnum returns True if its argument is a valid number,
# and False (retval=1) if it is any other string.
# The first pattern requires a digit before the decimal
# point, and the second after the decimal point.

# BASH NOTE: make sure you have executed `shopt -s extglob' before
# trying to use this function, or it will not work
