QEXT

Elemental Intrinsic Function (Generic): Converts a number to quad precision (REAL(16)) type.

result = QEXT (a)

a

(Input) Must be of type integer, real, or complex.

Results

The result type is REAL(16) (REAL*16). 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 REAL(16), the result is the value of the a with no conversion (QEXT(a) = a).

If a is of type integer or real, the result has as much precision of the significant part of a as a REAL(16) 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 REAL(16) value can contain.
