StringQ

Status: Stable

documented, exercised by the test suite and/or worked examples, with no known limitations recorded.

Description

StringQ[expr]

gives True if expr is a string, and False otherwise. The empty

Notes string "" gives True. Called with any number of arguments other than one it leaves the expression unevaluated (StringQ::argx).

Examples (10)

Every input below was run against the current Mathilda build and its output recorded.

Basic examples (4)

In[1]:= StringQ["AbC"]
Out[1]= True

In[2]:= StringQ[""]
Out[2]= True

In[3]:= StringQ[123]
Out[3]= False

In[4]:= StringQ[] StringQ::argx: StringQ called with 0 arguments; 1 argument is expected.

Scope (6)

In[5]:= MachineNumberQ[Sin[1000.]]
Out[5]= True

Overflows to +inf

In[6]:= MachineNumberQ[Exp[1000.]]
Out[6]= False

In[7]:= MachineNumberQ[-29037945.290347]
Out[7]= True

MPFR, not machine

In[8]:= MachineNumberQ[N[Pi, 30]]
Out[8]= False

In[9]:= MachineNumberQ[1.0 + 2.0 I]
Out[9]= True

Exact Gaussian integer

In[10]:= MachineNumberQ[1 + 2 I]
Out[10]= False
