MAXEXPONENT — Maximum exponent of a real kind#

MAXEXPONENT(X)#

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

Parameters: X – Shall be of type REAL.
Returns: The return value is of type INTEGER and of the default integer kind.

Standard:

Fortran 90 and later

Class:

Inquiry function

Syntax:

RESULT = MAXEXPONENT(X)

Example:

program exponents
  real(kind=4) :: x
  real(kind=8) :: y

  print *, minexponent(x), maxexponent(x)
  print *, minexponent(y), maxexponent(y)
end program exponents
