Mixed Real/Complex Operations

In mixed REAL/COMPLEX operations, Visual Fortran avoids the conversion and performs a simplified operation on:

• Add (+), subtract (-), and multiply (*) operations if either operand is REAL
• Divide (/) operations if the divisor is REAL

For example, if variable R is REAL and A and B are COMPLEX, no conversion occurs with the following:

  COMPLEX A, B
    .
    .
    .
  B = A + R
