Description:

Class:

Elemental function

Syntax:

RESULT = LEADZ(I)

Arguments:

I	Shall be of type INTEGER.

Return value:

The type of the return value is the default INTEGER. If all the bits of I are zero, the result value is BIT_SIZE(I).

Example:

          PROGRAM test_leadz
            WRITE (*,*) LEADZ(1)  ! prints 8 if BITSIZE(I) has the value 32
          END PROGRAM
