NAME

TINY - Returns the smallest positive value for a real argument

SYNOPSIS

TINY ([X=]x)

STANDARDS

Fortran

DESCRIPTION

The TINY intrinsic function returns the smallest positive number in the real number model that represents number of the same type and kind type parameter as the argument. For more information on the real number model, see the models(3i) man page. It accepts the following argument:

x: Must be of type real. It may be scalar or array valued.

TINY is an inquiry function. The name of this intrinsic cannot be passed as an argument.

RETURN VALUES

The result is a scalar with the same type and kind type parameter as x. The result has the value

be sub min-1

Note:e sub min-1 represents emin-1

where b and emin-1 are as defined in the real number model, which represents numbers of the same type and kind type parameter as x.
