9.231 SELECTED_INT_KIND — Choose integer kind

Description:
SELECTED_INT_KIND(R) return the kind value of the smallest integer type that can represent all values ranging from -10^R (exclusive) to 10^R (exclusive). If there is no integer kind that accommodates this range, SELECTED_INT_KIND returns -1.
Standard:
Fortran 95 and later
Class:
Transformational function
Syntax:
RESULT = SELECTED_INT_KIND(R)
Arguments:

R Shall be a scalar and of type INTEGER.

Example:
          program large_integers
            integer,parameter :: k5 = selected_int_kind(5)
            integer,parameter :: k15 = selected_int_kind(15)
            integer(kind=k5) :: i5
            integer(kind=k15) :: i15
          
            print *, huge(i5), huge(i15)
          
            ! The following inequalities are always true
            print *, huge(i5) >= 10_k5**5-1
            print *, huge(i15) >= 10_k15**15-1
          end program large_integers
