8.207 SUM — Sum of array elements

Description:

Adds the elements of ARRAY along dimension DIM if the corresponding element in MASK is TRUE.

Standard:

Fortran 95 and later

Class:

Transformational function

Syntax:

RESULT = SUM(ARRAY[, MASK])

RESULT = SUM(ARRAY, DIM[, MASK])

Arguments:

ARRAY	Shall be an array of type INTEGER, REAL or COMPLEX.
DIM	(Optional) shall be a scalar of type INTEGER with a value in the range from 1 to n, where n equals the rank of ARRAY.
MASK	(Optional) shall be of type LOGICAL and either be a scalar or an array of the same shape as ARRAY.

Return value:

The result is of the same type as ARRAY.

If DIM is absent, a scalar with the sum of all elements in ARRAY is returned. Otherwise, an array of rank n-1, where n equals the rank of ARRAY,and a shape similar to that of ARRAY with dimension DIM dropped is returned.

Example:

          PROGRAM test_sum
            INTEGER :: x(5) = (/ 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 /)
            print *, SUM(x)                        ! all elements, sum = 15
            print *, SUM(x, MASK=MOD(x, 2)==1)     ! odd elements, sum = 9
          END PROGRAM
