Dart2js numeric types: determining if a value is an int or a double

Viewed 574

I'm trying to determine if a dynamic parameter to a function is really an int or a double and I'm finding surprising behavior (at least to me).

Can anyone explain this output (produced on dartpad)?

foo(value) {
  print("$value is int: ${value is int}");
  print("$value is double: ${value is double}");
  print("$value runtimetype: ${value.runtimeType}");
}

void main() {
  foo(1);
  foo(2.0);
  int x = 10;
  foo(x);
  double y = 3.1459;
  foo(y);
  double z = 2.0;
  foo(z);
}

The output:

1 is int: true
1 is double: true
1 runtimetype: int
2 is int: true
2 is double: true
2 runtimetype: int
10 is int: true
10 is double: true
10 runtimetype: int
3.1459 is int: false
3.1459 is double: true
3.1459 runtimetype: double
2 is int: true
2 is double: true
2 runtimetype: int
