Intrinsic_Types

 VSI Fortran provides the following intrinsic data types:

  o  INTEGER (4 kind type parameters) - a whole number

  o  REAL (3 kind type parameters) - a floating point number (a
     whole number, a decimal fraction, or a combination)

  o  DOUBLE PRECISION - a REAL kind type parameter that has more
     than twice the degree of accuracy in its representation, and
     greater range

  o  COMPLEX (3 kind type parameters) - a pair of REAL values
     representing a complex number (the first part of the number is
     the real part, the second is the imaginary part)

  o  DOUBLE COMPLEX - a COMPLEX kind type parameter with DOUBLE
     PRECISION real and imaginary parts

  o  LOGICAL (4 kind type parameters)- a logical value, .TRUE.  or
     .FALSE.

  o  CHARACTER - a sequence of characters

  o  BYTE - a one-byte value equivalent to INTEGER(KIND=1)
