Wolfram Language symbolic expressions can represent an immense range of types of objects. The Wolfram Language provides a rich collection of functions to test expressions. Functions that "ask a question" have names that end in Q. They return True for an explicit true answer, and False otherwise.

Equality & Inequality

Equal (==), Unequal (!=) — numerical equality

SameQ (===), UnsameQ (=!=) — literal symbolic identity

Less (<)  ▪  Greater (>)  ▪  LessEqual (<=)  ▪  GreaterEqual (>=)  ▪  Between

And(&&)  ▪  Or(||)  ▪  Not(!)  ▪  True  ▪  False  ▪  ...

AllTrue  ▪  AnyTrue  ▪  NoneTrue

Operator Forms

Numerical Properties

NumberQ, MachineNumberQ — literal number, literal machine-precision number

NumericQ — numeric quantity (consisting of numbers, numeric constants, and functions)
