DESCRIPTION

This function uses polymorphism to allow input arguments of different types. It is used by other procedures that can take many argument types as input options.

OPTIONS

VALUEIN
input array or scalar to return type of May be of KIND INTEGER(kind=int8), INTEGER(kind=int16), INTEGER(kind=int32), INTEGER(kind=int64), REAL(kind=real32, REAL(kind=real64), REAL(kind=real128), complex, or CHARACTER(len=*)

RETURN

CHARS The returned value is an array of names

EXAMPLES

Sample program

   program demo_get_type
   use M_anything,      only : get_type
   implicit none
   integer :: i
      write(*,*)get_type([(i*i,i=1,10)])
      write(*,*)get_type([11.11,22.22,33.33])
      write(*,*)get_type(’This is a string’)
      write(*,*)get_type(30.0d0)
   end program demo_get_type

Results:
