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.
