Elemental Intrinsic Function (Generic): Returns the complementary error function of an argument.
Syntax
result = ERFC (x)
x
(Input) Must be of type real.
Results
The result type is the same as x. The result is in the range 0 to 2.
ERFC returns 1 - ERF(x) and is defined as follows:
ERFC is provided because of the extreme loss of relative accuracy if ERF(x) is called for large x and the result is subtracted from 1.
| Specific Name | Argument Type | Result Type |
|---|---|---|
| ERFC | REAL(4) | REAL(4) |
| DERFC | REAL(8) | REAL(8) |
| QERFC | REAL(16) | REAL(16) |
