MULT_HIGH (Alpha only)

Elemental Intrinsic Function (Specific): Multiplies two 64-bit unsigned integers. This is a specific function that has no generic function associated with it. It must not be passed as an actual argument.

Syntax

result = MULT_HIGH (i, j)

i
INTEGER(8).

j
INTEGER(8).

Results:

The result is of type INTEGER(8). The result value is the upper (leftmost) 64 bits of the 128-bit unsigned result.

Example

Consider the following:

          INTEGER(8) I,J,K
          I=2_8**53
          J=2_8**51
          K = MULT_HIGH (I,J)
          PRINT *,I,J,K
          WRITE (6,1000)I,J,K
  1000    FORMAT (' ', 3(Z,1X))
          END

This example prints the following:
