Elemental Intrinsic Function (Generic): Converts a number to double-precision real type.
result = DBLE (a)
a |
(Input) Must be of type integer, real, or complex. |
The result type is double precision real (by default, REAL(8) or REAL*8). Functions that cause conversion of one data type to another type have the same effect as the implied conversion in assignment statements.
If a is of type double precision, the result is the value of the a with no conversion (DBLE( a) = a).
If a is of type integer or real, the result has as much precision of the significant part of a as a double precision value can contain.
If a is of type complex, the result has as much precision of the significant part of the real part of a as a double precision value can contain.
