Each constant, variable, array, expression, or function reference in a Fortran statement represents typed data. The data type of these items can be inherent in their constructions, implied by convention, or explicitly declared. Each data type has a name, a set of associated values, a way to denote the values, and operations to manipulate and interpret these values. There are two categories of data types: intrinsic and derived. The names of the intrinsic data types are predefined and are always accessible. Derived data types are user-defined data types that are made up of intrinsic or derived data types.
