Declares entities of type integer.
Syntax
BYTE [[, attrib-list] ::] entity-list |
- attrib-list
is a comma-separated list of one or more of the
following attributes:
If attrib-list is present, it must
be followed by the double colon. For information about individual
attributes, see the corresponding statement in this chapter.
- entity-list
is a list of entities, separated by commas. Each
entity takes the form:
name [( array-spec )] [= initialization-expr] |
where:
name
is the name of a variable or function
array-spec
is a comma-separated list of dimension bounds
initialization-expr
is a integer constant integer expression. If initialization-expr
is present, entity-list must be preceded
by the double colon.
Description
The BYTE
statement is an HP extension that is used to declare the properties
of entities. The entities can take values that are whole numbers
and can be represented in one byte. It is equivalent to the INTEGER(KIND=1)
statement.
The BYTE
statement is constrained by the rules for all type declaration statements,
including the requirement that it precede all executable statements.
Note, however, that the BYTE
statement does not have a kind parameter.
Example
The following are valid declarations:
BYTE i, j
BYTE :: k
BYTE, PARAMETER :: limit=120
! use an array constructor to initialize an array
BYTE, DIMENSION(4) :: bvec=(/1,2,3,4/)
! use slashes as initialization delimiters, an HP extension
BYTE b/12/, bb/27/ ! note, no double colon
