EXPONENT Function

Description

The EXPONENT function returns the exponential part of the model representation of a number.

Syntax
 
EXPONENT (x)
 

Arguments

x is an INTENT(IN) scalar or array of type REAL.

Result

The result is of type default INTEGER. Its value is the power of two of the exponential part of x.

Example
       real :: x.4.3
       write(*,*) x.exponent(x)
                  ! writes 4.300000 3
       write(*,*) scale(fraction(x),exponent(x))
                  ! writes 4.300000
