FORTRAN real data size?

What is the default byte size of FORTRAN's data type REAL?

Comments

  • 4 bytes.

    Double precision is 8 bytes (aka REAL*8)

  • "all stored FORTRAN interger numbers must be in the range -32768 to +32767 (-2^15 to 2^16 -1) A stored Fortran (real) number can usually contain up to 7 digits and a decimal point........."
