6.114 LBOUND — Lower dimension bounds of an array

Description:
Returns the lower bounds of an array, or a single lower bound along the DIM dimension.
Standard:
F95 and later
Class:
Inquiry function
Syntax:
RESULT = LBOUND(ARRAY [, DIM])
Arguments:

ARRAY Shall be an array, of any type.
DIM (Optional) Shall be a scalar INTEGER(*).

Return value:
If DIM is absent, the result is an array of the lower bounds of ARRAY. If DIM is present, the result is a scalar corresponding to the lower bound of the array along that dimension. If ARRAY is an expression rather than a whole array or array structure component, or if it has a zero extent along the relevant dimension, the lower bound is taken to be 1.
