Thanks to all who replied to my previous questions. Those functions work
fine now. Here is another question - I apologize if it has been asked before.
I need a function
IsIntegerOrFloat[expr]
that returns True if expr, which is generally a flat list, contains
only integers or floating point numbers, and False otherwise.
Rational numbers such as 1/2 are considered symbolic for this test; so is
\[Pi] or Sqrt[5]. Appearance of any symbol, as in 2.0*a+3.5, makes it False.
As in previous questions, this should work on versions >=4.0.
Use: unified printing of simulation data structures in table formats.
Expressions containing only integers or floats are filtered through
PaddedForm[] and ToString[], others through Symbol[]. The end
result (a flat table of strings) is filtered through TableForm with
appropriate options.
