NAME

MAXEXPONENT(3) - [MODEL:NUMERIC] Maximum exponent of a real kind

SYNOPSIS

result = maxexponent(x) 

         elemental integer function maxexponent(x)


          real(kind=**),intent(in) :: x

CHARACTERISTICS

o X is a real scalar or array of any real kind
o the result is a default integer scalar

DESCRIPTION

MAXEXPONENT(3) returns the maximum exponent in the model of the type of X.

OPTIONS

o X : A value used to select the kind of real to return a value for.

RESULT

The value returned is the maximum exponent for the kind of the value queried

EXAMPLES

Sample program: 

    program demo_maxexponent
    use, intrinsic :: iso_fortran_env, only : real32,real64,real128
    implicit none
    character(len=*),parameter :: g=’(*(g0,1x))’
       print  g,  minexponent(0.0_real32),   maxexponent(0.0_real32)
       print  g,  minexponent(0.0_real64),   maxexponent(0.0_real64)
       print  g,  minexponent(0.0_real128),  maxexponent(0.0_real128)
    end program demo_maxexponent
Results: 

      >  -125 128
      >  -1021 1024
      >  -16381 16384
