Intrinsic Procedures

 

Some tasks in a language are performed frequently, Fortran 90 has efficient implementations of such common tasks built-in to the language, these procedures are called intrinsic procedures. Fortran 90 has 113 intrinsic procedures in a number of different classes,

The procedures vary in what arguments are permitted. Some procedures can be applied to scalars and arrays, some to only scalars and some to only arrays. All intrinsics which take REAL valued arguments also accept DOUBLE PRECISION arguments.
