7.10 AIMAG — Imaginary part of complex number

Description:

AIMAG(Z) yields the imaginary part of complex argument Z. The IMAG(Z) and IMAGPART(Z) intrinsic functions are provided for compatibility with g77, and their use in new code is strongly discouraged.

Standard:

Fortran 77 and later, has overloads that are GNU extensions

Class:

Elemental function

Syntax:

RESULT = AIMAG(Z)

Arguments:

Z	The type of the argument shall be COMPLEX.

Return value:

The return value is of type REAL with the kind type parameter of the argument.

Example:

          program test_aimag
            complex(4) z4
            complex(8) z8
            z4 = cmplx(1.e0_4, 0.e0_4)
            z8 = cmplx(0.e0_8, 1.e0_8)
            print *, aimag(z4), dimag(z8)
          end program test_aimag
     

Specific names:

Name	Argument	Return type	Standard
