| Description: | Returns the shape of an array or scalar argument. | ||
| Class: | Inquiry function; Generic | ||
| Arguments: | SOURCE | Is a scalar or array (of any data type). It must not be an assumed-size array, a disassociated pointer, or an allocatable array that is not allocated. | |
| KIND (opt) | Must be a scalar integer initialization expression. | ||
| Results: | The result is a rank-one integer array whose size is equal to the
rank of SOURCE. If KIND is present, the
kind parameter of the result is that specified by KIND; otherwise, the kind
parameter of the result is that of default integer. If the processor
cannot represent the result value in the kind of the result, the result
is undefined.
The value of the result is the shape of SOURCE. The setting of compiler options that specify integer size can affect the result of this function. | ||
Examples
SHAPE (2) has the value of a rank-one array of size zero.
If B is declared as B(2:4, -3:1), then SHAPE (B) has the value (3, 5).
