Elemental Intrinsic Function (Generic): Converts the logical value of the argument to a logical value with different kind parameters.
Syntax
result = LOGICAL (l [, kind])
l
(Input) Must be of type logical.
kind
(Input; optional) Must be a scalar integer initialization expression.
Results
The result is of type logical. If kind is present, the kind parameter is that specified by kind; otherwise, the kind parameter is that of default logical. The result value is that of l.
The setting of compiler options specifying integer size can affect this function.
