NAME

KIND(3) - [KIND:INQUIRY] Query kind of an entity

SYNOPSIS

result = kind(x) 

         integer function kind(x)


          type(TYPE(kind=**)),intent(in) :: x(..)

CHARACTERISTICS

o X may be of any intrinsic type. It may be a scalar or an array.
o the result is a default integer scalar

DESCRIPTION

KIND(X)(3) returns the kind value of the entity X.

OPTIONS

o X : Value to query the kind of.

RESULT

The return value indicates the kind of the argument X.

Note that kinds are processor-dependent.

EXAMPLES

Sample program: 

    program demo_kind
    implicit none
    integer,parameter :: dc = kind(’ ’)
    integer,parameter :: dl = kind(.true.)


       print *, "The default character kind is ", dc
       print *, "The default logical kind is ", dl


    end program demo_kind
Results: 

      > The default character kind is            1
      > The default logical kind is            4
