NumericQ

  • NumericQ[ expr ] gives True if expr is a numeric quantity, and False otherwise.
  • An expression is considered a numeric quantity if it is either an explicit number or a mathematical constant such as Pi, or is a function all of whose arguments are numeric quantities.
  • In most cases, NumericQ[ expr ] gives True whenever N[ expr ] would yield an explicit number.
  • See The Mathematica Book on the web:Section 2.3.5 and Section 3.1.2.
