SELECTED_INT_KIND

Transformational Intrinsic Function (Generic): Returns the value of the kind parameter of an integer data type.

Syntax

result = SELECTED_INT_KIND (r)

r
(Input) Must be scalar and of type integer.

Results:

The result is a scalar of type default integer. The result has a value equal to the value of the kind parameter of the integer data type that represents all values n in the range of values n with -10^r < n < 10^r.

If no such kind type parameter is available on the processor, 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. For more information, see Model for Integer Data.
