9.51 BTEST — Bit test function ¶

Description:

BTEST(I,POS) returns logical .TRUE. if the bit at POS in I is set. The counting of the bits starts at 0.

Standard:

Fortran 90 and later, has overloads that are GNU extensions

Class:

Elemental function

Syntax:

RESULT = BTEST(I, POS)

Arguments:

I	The type shall be INTEGER.
POS	The type shall be INTEGER.

Return value:

The return value is of type LOGICAL

Example:

program test_btest
    integer :: i = 32768 + 1024 + 64
    integer :: pos
    logical :: bool
    do pos=0,16
        bool = btest(i, pos) 
        print *, pos, bool
    end do
end program test_btest

Specific names:

Name	Argument	Return type	Standard

BBTEST(I,POS)	INTEGER(1) I,POS	LOGICAL(1)	GNU extension
BITEST(I,POS)	INTEGER(2) I,POS	LOGICAL(2)	GNU extension
BJTEST(I,POS)	INTEGER(4) I,POS	LOGICAL(4)	GNU extension
