Basic Examples  (1)

Test whether an input is explicitly a real-valued number:

Scope  (8)

Integers are real-valued numbers:

Rational numbers are real valued:

Approximate reals are real-valued numbers:

Complex numbers are not real valued:

Approximate complex numbers are not considered real valued even if their imaginary part equals zero:

RealValuedNumberQ gives False for expressions that are real valued but not explicitly numbers:

RealValuedNumberQ[Infinity] gives False:

RealValuedNumberQ[Overflow[]] and RealValuedNumberQ[Underflow[]] give True:

They are both treated as Real:

Properties & Relations  (3)

RealValuedNumberQ is effectively equivalent to MatchQ[#,_Integer|_Rational|_Real]&:

RealValuedNumberQ[x] is equivalent to NumberQ[x]&&Head[x]=!=Complex:

If RealValuedNumberQ[x] is True, then RealValuedNumericQ[x] is also True:
