Conditional statement that will prevent users from imputing

Homework Statement

I was wondering if anyone knows of a conditional statement that will prevent users from imputing non integer inputs.

like for example
z=0
while z<1
x=input('Enter Something')
if SOME MAGICAL CONDITIONAL STATEMENT
disp('You entered a invalid entry. Please try again.')
else
z=1;
end
end

I hope you get what I'm trying to do. In a loop prompt a user to enter a number. If the user enters a number like 5.5 I would like the message to come up 'You entered a invalid entry. Please try again.' by using some conditional statement

anyone got any ideas?

Does the computer language that you're using have INT() or floor() functions?

It's too bad most programming languages don't have a built-in function which tases users who don't follow directions.
