}

First, that's not nice looking readable code - your indentation would make Elysia cry!

If that's meant to validate a float, you are missing the E|e{+,-}{*0-9} notation.

That's improper, unreadable code. You could theoretically just squeeze all lines into one and claim you have a one-line function, though.
But on a serious note, that code is worse than what 90% of the newbies post here.
