NumberQ
NumberQ[
expr
] gives True if expr is a number, and False otherwise.
NumberQ[
expr
] returns False unless expr is manifestly a number (i.e., has head Complex, Integer, Rational or Real).
NumberQ[Infinity] gives False.
NumberQ[Overflow[
]] and NumberQ[Underflow[
]] give True.
You can use NumberQ[
x
]
=
True to override the normal operation of NumberQ, and effectively define x to be a number.
