ExactNumberQ
ExactNumberQ
[
expr
]
returns
True
if
expr
is an exact real or complex number, and returns
False
otherwise.
MORE INFORMATION
ExactNumberQ
[
expr
]
gives

ExactNumberQ
tests whether an object is explicitly an exact number:
ExactNumberQ
tests whether an object is explicitly an exact number:
In[1]:=
Out[1]=
In[2]:=
Out[2]=
In[3]:=
Out[3]=
Scope
(2)
Both real and imaginary parts of a complex number must be exact:
ExactNumberQ
is false for symbolic objects that represent numbers:
You can test these with
