| Mixed expressions |
| Mixed expressions in Arithmetic Expression are formed by using different types of integer, real, double precision or complex quantities. |
| Example: |
| Consider an arithmetic expression in which integer and real quantities occurs let I=5 and C= 2.5.This means here I is integer and C is real .If both are added then I + C = 7.5 |
| Here the integer value is automatically converted into real value, that means 5 becomes 5.0.And the value of I remains the integer in the computer memory. |
| Character Expressions |
| Character expression is an expression whose operands have the character type. Expression Meaning |
| a // z concatenate a with z |
| Consider A1, A2, A3 are declared as complex then it will be written in program as: |
| COMPLEX A1, A2, A3 |
| If A1 = (1.5, 2.5), A2 =(2.0, 3.5) and A3 = (1.0, 2.0) then Fortran expression for the evaluation (1.5, 2.5) + (2.0, 3.5) – (1.0, 2.0) will be A1 + A2 -A3. Similarly other examples can be also written. |
| Example: |
| – IC * IA +IB |
| Here IC, IA, IB are unsigned integer variable and -, +, and * are arithmetic operators. |
| 3) An integer expression enclosed in parentheses is an integer expression. |
| Example: |
| ( -J * K +I) is an integer expression.; |
| Note: Two arithmetic operators should not occur in succession in an integer expression. |
| This is wrong to express: |
| Example: |
| IC -* IA |
