¹ All of the numeric manipulation, and many of the numeric inquiry functions are defined by the model sets for integers and reals. ² The value of the argument does not have to be defined. ³ For more information on bit functions, see Bit functions. ⁴ The Intel® Fortran processor character set is ASCII, so ACHAR = CHAR and IACHAR = ICHAR.

The following table summarizes the generic intrinsic functions and indicates whether they are elemental, inquiry, or transformational functions. Optional arguments are shown within square brackets.
