# QFLOAT

Elemental Intrinsic Function (Generic): Converts an integer to quad precision (REAL(16)) type.

result = QFLOAT (a)

a | (Input) Must be of type integer.

## Results

The result type is REAL(16) (REAL*16).

Functions that cause conversion of one data type to another type have the same affect as the implied conversion in assignment statements.

## Example

QFLOAT (-4) has the value -4.0 (rounded; there are 32 places to the right of the decimal point).
