ASTNodeQ
​
ASTNodeQ
[node]
tests whether node is any standard AST node.
​
Details and Options
▪
The standard vocabulary has ten heads:
LeafNode
,
CallNode
,
PrefixNode
,
PostfixNode
,
BinaryNode
,
InfixNode
,
TernaryNode
,
GroupNode
,
ContainerNode
and
ErrorNode
.
ASTNodeQ
returns
True
when the head of node is one of these.
▪
It is a total predicate - any other expression, including a number or a bare
Association
, returns
False
rather than staying unevaluated, so it composes with
Cases
and pattern tests like
_?ASTNodeQ
.
▪
The test is on the head only; it does not recurse into children or check arity. A malformed
BinaryNode[]
would still pass.
▪
For the narrower test "is this a terminal", use
ASTLeafQ
.

Basic Examples  
(1)
A
LeafNode
is a node:
In[1]:=
ASTNodeQ

LeafNode
["Integer","1",]
Out[1]=
True
So is an interior
BinaryNode
:
In[2]:=
ASTNodeQ

BinaryNode
"+",
LeafNode
["Integer","1",],
LeafNode
["Integer","2",],
Out[2]=
True
A plain string is not a node:
In[3]:=
ASTNodeQ
["x"]
Out[3]=
False
