<dt><em>Description</em>:</dt>
|
<dd><p><code>ICHAR(C)</code> returns the code for the character in the first character
|
position of <code>C</code> in the system’s native character set.
|
The correspondence between characters and their codes is not necessarily
|
the same across different GNU Fortran implementations.

</p>

<dt><em>Standard</em>:</dt>
|
<dd><p>Fortran 95 and later, with <var>KIND</var> argument Fortran 2003 and later

<dt><em>Syntax</em>:</dt>
|
<dd><p><code>RESULT = ICHAR(C [, KIND])</code>

<dt><em>Arguments</em>:</dt>
|
<dd><table>
|
<tr><td width="15%"><var>C</var></td><td width="70%">Shall be a scalar <code>CHARACTER</code>, with <code>INTENT(IN)</code></td></tr>

<tr><td width="15%"><var>KIND</var></td><td width="70%">(Optional) An <code>INTEGER</code> initialization
|
expression indicating the kind parameter of the result.</td></tr>
|
</table>
|

</dd>
|
<dt><em>Return value</em>:</dt>
|
<dd><p>The return value is of type <code>INTEGER</code> and of kind <var>KIND</var>. If
|
<var>KIND</var> is absent, the return value is of default integer kind.

|
<dd><div class="smallexample">
|

<dt><em>Note</em>:</dt>

<dd><p>No intrinsic exists to convert between a numeric value and a formatted
|
character string representation – for instance, given the
|
<code>CHARACTER</code> value <code>'154'</code>, obtaining an <code>INTEGER</code> or
|
<code>REAL</code> value with the value 154, or vice versa. Instead, this
|
functionality is provided by internal-file I/O, as in the following
|
example:
|
</p><div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample">program read_val
|
integer value
|
character(len=10) string, string2
|
string = '154'
|
|
! Convert a string to a numeric value
|
read (string,'(I10)') value
|
print *, value
|
|
! Convert a value to a formatted string
|
write (string2,'(I10)') value
|
print *, string2
|
end program read_val
