Elemental Intrinsic Function (Specific): Converts a character string to a double-precision value.

Syntax

result = DNUM (i)

i
(Input) Must be of type character.

Results

The result type is double-precision real. The result value is the double-precision real value represented by the character string i.

Examples

DNUM ("3.14159") has the double-precision value 3.14159.

The following sets x to 311.0:

  CHARACTER(3) i
  DOUBLE PRECISION x
  i = "311"
  x = DNUM(i)
