Type parameter specification

In Fortran 90 programs, the value of the kind type parameter for a given data type can be specified by the KIND intrinsic function. Dc_types module of gtool5 provides standard type parameters. By using the dc_types module, it is not necessary to define type parameters in user's programs.

For example, a sample program using the dc_types module (diffusion_3.f90) is shown here, which are modified from diffusion_attr.f90 in Data I/O interface: Add attribute. Statements with colored font (or bold font) are associated with the dc_types module.

In this sample program, the parameter DP provided by dc_types module is used as the kind type parameter for double precision real literal constant. The dc_types module also provides kind type parameters for integer and character literal constants. In detail, please see gtool5 reference manual.
