SET_EXPONENT - Sets exponent part of a number
SET_EXPONENT ([X=]x, [I=]i)
UNICOS, UNICOS/mk, and IRIX systems
Fortran 90
The SET_EXPONENT intrinsic function sets the exponent part of a
number. It returns the numeric model number whose fractional part is
the fractional part of the real number model representation of x and
whose exponent part is i. For more information on the real number
model, see the MODELS(3I) man page. It accepts the following
arguments:
x Must be of type real
i Must be of type integer
SET_EXPONENT is an elemental function. The name of this intrinsic
cannot be passed as an argument.
This routine is implemented on CRAY T90 systems that support IEEE
arithmetic by calls to scalar-only library routines.
The result type and type parameter are the same as x.
i-e
The result has the value (x)(b ), where b and e are defined in the
model, provided that this result is within range. Argument i should
be within the range of MINEXPONENT(x) <= i <= MAXEXPONENT(x). If i is
outside this range, the results are unpredictable. If x has value 0,
the result has value 0.
SET_EXPONENT(3.0, 1) has the value 1.5.
