Intel® Fortran Compiler 18.0 Developer Guide and Reference
Integer data types can be specified as follows:
INTEGER
INTEGER([KIND=]n)
INTEGER*n
n |
Is a constant expression that evaluates to kind 1, 2, 4, or 8. |
If a kind parameter is specified, the integer has the kind specified. If a kind parameter is not specified, integer constants are interpreted as follows:
If the integer constant is within the default integer kind range, the kind is default integer.
If the integer constant is outside the default integer kind range, the kind of the integer constant is the smallest integer kind that holds the constant.
Default integer is affected by compiler option integer-size, the INTEGER compiler directive, and the OPTIONS statement.
The intrinsic inquiry function KIND returns the kind type parameter, if you do not know it. You can use the intrinsic function SELECTED_INT_KIND to find the kind values that provide a given range of integer values. The decimal exponent range is returned by the intrinsic function RANGE.
The following examples show ways an integer variable can be declared.
An entity-oriented example is:
INTEGER, DIMENSION(:), POINTER :: days, hours
INTEGER(2), POINTER :: k, limit
INTEGER(1), DIMENSION(10) :: minAn attribute-oriented example is:
INTEGER days, hours
INTEGER(2) k, limit
INTEGER(1) min
DIMENSION days(:), hours(:), min (10)
POINTER days, hours, k, limitAn integer can be used in certain cases when a logical value is expected, such as in a logical expression evaluating a condition, as in the following:
INTEGER I, X
READ (*,*) I
IF (I) THEN
X = 1
END IF
