EXPONENT(3I) Last changed: 1-6-98
EXPONENT - Returns the exponent part of the argument when represented
as a numeric model number
EXPONENT ([X=]x)
UNICOS, UNICOS/mk, and IRIX systems
Fortran 90
The EXPONENT intrinsic function returns the exponent part of the
argument when represented as a numeric model number. It accepts the
following argument:
x Must be of type real
EXPONENT is an elemental function. The name of this intrinsic cannot
be passed as an argument.
The result type is default integer. The result has a value equal to
the exponent, e, of the real number model for the value of x, provided
that x is nonzero and e is within the range for default integers. For
more information on the real number model, see the MODELS(3I) man
page.
The result is undefined if the machine upon which the compiler is
running cannot represent e in the default integer type.
EXPONENT(X) has the value zero if X is zero.
EXPONENT(1.0) has the value 1 and EXPONENT(4.1) has the value 3.
