In Fortran, will arithmetic involving an integer
and real
operand be always carried out by converting the integer operand to a real value of t
This is defined in Ch. 7.1.5.1 "Intrinsic operation classification" of the Fortran 2008 Standard:
Excerpt from NOTE 7.15:
Intrinsic operator Type of Type of Type of op x1 x2 [x1] op x2 ---------------------------------------------------------- I I, R, Z I, R, Z Binary +, –, *, /, ** R I, R, Z R, R, Z Z I, R, Z Z, Z, Z
[...]
Note: The symbols I, R, Z, C, and L stand for the types integer, real, complex, character, and logical, respectively. Where more than one type for x 2 is given, the type of the result of the operation is given in the same relative position in the next column.
So yes, it is converted to real
in your case.
