NumericQ

FilledSmallSquare NumericQ[expr] gives True if expr is a numeric quantity, and False otherwise.

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