SIZEOF
Description:
Syntax:
Class:
Arguments:
Results:
Returns the number of bytes of storage used by the argument. It cannot be
passed as an actual argument.
result = SIZEOF (x)
Inquiry function; Generic
x is a scalar or array (of any data type). It must not be an assumed-size array.
The result type is INTEGER(4) on IA-32 processors; INTEGER(8) on Intel
Itanium processors. The result value is the number of bytes of storage used by
x.
SPACING
SPREAD
Examples
SIZEOF (3.44) has the value 4.
SIZEOF ('SIZE') has the value 4.
Description: Returns the absolute spacing of model numbers near the argument value.
Syntax: result = SPACING (x)
Class: Elemental function; Generic
Arguments: x must be of type real.
Results: The result type is the same as x. The result has the value b e–p . Parameters b, e,
and p are defined in “Model for Real Data”.
If the result value is outside of the real model range, the result is TINY(X). (For
information on TINY, see “TINY”.)
Example
If 3.0 is a REAL(4) value, SPACING (3.0) has the value 2 –22 .
Description:
Syntax:
Creates a replicated array with an added dimension by making copies of
existing elements along a specified dimension.
result = SPREAD (source, dim, ncopies)
