Revision as of 01:11, 22 June 2014
Some thoughts
- We also have: Determine if a string is numeric
- What does integerness mean? would "Have no imaginary part(s) and nothing* after the decimal point" do?
- (At least for ints, reals, complex, and Quaternion types; not sure about infinities and whatnot).
- *Note, .999... === 1 though.

- An integer is an element of Z. Complex numbers, quaternions etc do no qualify as integers even if their real components are integers. There would be some sense in considering them so, but it's not the case mostly for historical reasons I guess.
- To make the task clearer, I'll add a link to the Wikipedia article. Hope that helps.--Grondilu (talk) 13:50, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
- REXX considers 1.00 and 1e27 to be integers as long as Numeric Digits is large enough. ok? --Walterpachl (talk) 19:12, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
