I'm looking to xor two integers together in Fortran, is there a function in FTN95 to do this?

There's a whole slew of such functions introduced in Fortran 90 and referenced in FTN95.chm. In addition, FTN77 had a few functions for setting and reading individual bits - see the FTN77 Library Reference Manual in the support section of the website.

Ryan,

I couldn't find it either, as FTN95.CHM doesn't have the sort of language guide that you used to get with printed documentation. I found a whole lot of information on bit operations here:

https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Bitwise_operations#Fortran

which gives the Fortran 90 routines as well as IEOR for all the related operations.

I've had this problem before when trying to follow posts including reference to 'XOR' and being unableto find it by searching the online documentation.

Any raw newbie would be flumoxed (a word not nearly enough used in this modern world - too many letters to be easily texted I guess !) ... anyway, they'd be flumoxed on this post because Paul's posted link makes no reference to XOR !

Because ... it's equivalent in ftn95 appears to be IEOR!!!

... and if you can't find it that doesn't mean your a donkey Smile or does it Wink

I Claudius ? IEOR ? Smile


What's the point of IEOR (XOR) anyway, what practical applications does it have / is it used for ?

There doesn't seem to be (that I can find anyway) much documentation anywhere about it's useful uses, not just in the ftn95 documentation.

After all, the best way to get people to use new features is to 'sell' them (them being Joe Blogs's) via expounding their PRACTICAL uses.
