SELECTED_INT_KIND(R)

Purpose

Returns a value of the kind type parameter of an integer data type that represents all integer values n with -10^R < n < 10^R.

Class

Transformational function

Argument type and attributes

R: An INTENT(IN) INTEGER

Result type and attributes

Default integer scalar.

Result value

The result has a value equal to the value of the kind type parameter of an integer data type that represents all values n in the range values n with -10^R < n < 10^R, or if no such kind type parameter is available, the result is -1.
If more than one kind type parameter meets the criteria, the value returned is the one with the smallest decimal exponent range.

Examples

IBM extension begins SELECTED_INT_KIND (9) has the value 4, signifying that an INTEGER with kind type 4 can represent all values from 10^-9 to 10⁹. IBM extension ends
