NAME
PRECISION(3) - [NUMERIC MODEL] Decimal precision of a real kind
SYNOPSIS
result = precision(x)
integer function precision(x)TYPE(kind=**),intent(in) :: x
CHARACTERISTICS
o X shall be of type real or complex. It may be a scalar or an array. o the result is a default integer scalar.
DESCRIPTION
PRECISION(3) returns the decimal precision in the model of the type of X.
OPTIONS
o X : the type and kind of the argument are used to determine which number model to query. The value of the argument is not unused; it may even be undefined.
RESULT
The precision of values of the type and kind of X
EXAMPLES
Sample program:
program demo_precision use,intrinsic :: iso_fortran_env, only : dp=>real64,sp=>real32 implicit none real(kind=sp) :: x(2) complex(kind=dp) :: yResults:print *, precision(x), range(x) print *, precision(y), range(y)
end program demo_precision
