2-3 DATA TYPES
***************
(Thanks to Craig Burley for the excellent comments)
The star notation
-----------------
The 'star' (*n) notation is standard Fortran for character strings,
using the star notation for non-character (numeric) data-types is
common, but not standard Fortran, either FORTRAN 77 or Fortran 90.
The Fortran standards can't allow the star notation because they
must avoid any restriction on the internal representation of variables,
otherwise Fortran programs will not be portable to machines with
different architectures.
The number after the star in character strings is the number of
"character storage units", whose size is purposely left undefined
and is never compared with the "numeric storage unit" used to
describe numeric types. The number of "character storage units"
is the number of characters in the string, not the number of bytes.
Almost all "English speaking" computers use one-byte representations
for characters, so the number after the star coincide with the
number of bytes used in the internal representation. In the
non-standard use of the star notation for numeric data types,
the number after the star also denotes the number of bytes used.
The basic data types
--------------------
The data types provided by a language have little to do with the
underlying machine, there were perfectly usable Fortran compilers
on 8-bit computers, which simulated 32-bit floating point hardware.
The basic data types of FORTRAN 77 are: integers, floating-point
numbers of two kinds (REAL and DOUBLE PRECISION), logicals and
character strings.
In FORTRAN 77, the only allowed method of creating compound data
types out of the basic types is forming arrays.
Character strings
-----------------
The term 'character' became a little vague, due to widespread
confusion between the objects themselves and their representations.
A character is a graphic sign (glyph) that may be represented
differently in different representation schemes developed and
used on different machines.
Individual characters (CHARACTER*1) are always represented in
practise as small integers, usually in the range 0-255 so they
can be stored in one byte (see Appendix B and the terminals and
printers chapter).
The exceptions to the 'one byte per character rule' are:
1) Unicode systems - characters are consistently
16-bits per character.
2) asian language systems - the number of bytes
per character is variable.
Because characters are represented, in practice, always as small
integers, and representations are what computers use and work with,
people sometimes tend to think that the integer representation is
the primary entity.
You will often hear people referring to characters as if the graphic
sign is assigned to the representation, e.g. 'character 32 is SPACE',
instead of 'SPACE is represented by 32 in the ASCII scheme'.
In most computers the translation between characters and numbers
is made according to the ASCII scheme. There are other schemes like
EBCDIC on IBM computers - in that scheme the decimal digits and the
letters doesn't have successive values (see Appendix B).
Different extensions of the ASCII scheme are discussed in the
chapter on terminals and printers.
Individual characters can be combined to form character arrays and
character strings.
BYTE
----
A NONSTANDARD fortran data type, equivalent to C 'signed char'.
Can be thought of as a small subtype of INTEGER, formally equivalent
to LOGICAL*1, which is also nonstandard fortran.
Should be used only if you have to do fast byte manipulations on data.
Size: 1 byte (8 bits)
Value range: -128 to 127.
INTEGER
-------
The data given here is "typical", but not standard or ubiquitous.
the standard INTEGER data type was implemented as INTEGER*2 on old
16 bit machines, it is now usually INTEGER*4, but on the new 64 bit
machines (and some older ones) it may be an INTEGER*8.
For more information on integer representations see the chapter
on integers.
FORTRAN integer types are signed:
INTEGER*2 (non-standard)
------------------------
Size: 2 bytes (16 bits, bit 15 = sign)
Value range: -32768 to 32767
INTEGER*4
---------
Size: 4 bytes (32 bits, bit 31 = sign)
Value range: -2147483648 to 2147483647
INTEGER*4 can be thought of as an extended INTEGER*2 -
if the value lies in the INTEGER*2 range, then the first
(little-endian machine) or last (big-endian machine) two
bytes can be referenced as an INTEGER*2
INTEGER*8
---------
Similar to INTEGER*4 but with larger range.
Found on 64 bit machines and on 32-bit machines such as SPARC.
REAL and DOUBLE PRECISION
-------------------------
The standard REAL and DOUBLE PRECISION data types may be implemented
differently on different machines.
Usually REAL is 4 bytes long and DOUBLE precision is 8 bytes long,
on CRAYs they are 8 and 16 bytes long respectively, but not all bytes
are used.
See the section on Floating-Point Numbers for an elementary
introduction to the subject and information on various aspects.
LOGICAL
-------
The FORTRAN standard requires logical variables to be the same size
as INTEGER/REAL variables (see the chapter on memory management)
although only one bit is really needed to implement this type.
The values used to implement the logical constants .TRUE. and
.FALSE. differ:
| VMS | Sun | IRIX |
-----------|------------|-----------|-----------|-----------
.TRUE. | -1 | 1 | 1 |
-----------|------------|-----------|-----------|-----------
.FALSE. | 0 | 0 | 0 |
-----------|------------|-----------|-----------|-----------
Unix machines naturally adopted the C convention, VMS has a seemingly
strange value for .TRUE., however on a closer look you will see that
if .FALSE. is "all bits 0", .TRUE. should be "all bits 1", in two's
complement signed integers the number with all bits set to 1 is -1.
A much more important factor in the social movement than those already mentioned was the ever-increasing influence of women. This probably stood at the lowest point to which it has ever fallen, during the classic age of Greek life and thought. In the history of Thucydides, so far as it forms a connected series of events, four times only during a period of nearly seventy years does a woman cross the scene. In each instance her apparition only lasts for a moment. In three of the four instances she is a queen or a princess, and belongs either to the half-barbarous kingdoms of northern Hellas or to wholly barbarous Thrace. In the one remaining instance208— that of the woman who helps some of the trapped Thebans to make their escape from Plataea—while her deed of mercy will live for ever, her name is for ever lost.319 But no sooner did philosophy abandon physics for ethics and religion than the importance of those subjects to women was perceived, first by Socrates, and after him by Xenophon and Plato. Women are said to have attended Plato’s lectures disguised as men. Women formed part of the circle which gathered round Epicurus in his suburban retreat. Others aspired not only to learn but to teach. Arêtê, the daughter of Aristippus, handed on the Cyrenaic doctrine to her son, the younger Aristippus. Hipparchia, the wife of Crates the Cynic, earned a place among the representatives of his school. But all these were exceptions; some of them belonged to the class of Hetaerae; and philosophy, although it might address itself to them, remained unaffected by their influence. The case was widely different in Rome, where women were far more highly honoured than in Greece;320 and even if the prominent part assigned to them in the legendary history of the city be a proof, among others, of its untrustworthiness, still that such stories should be thought worth inventing and preserving is an indirect proof of the extent to which feminine influence prevailed. With the loss of political liberty, their importance, as always happens at such a conjuncture, was considerably increased. Under a personal government there is far more scope for intrigue than where law is king; and as intriguers women are at least the209 equals of men. Moreover, they profited fully by the levelling tendencies of the age. One great service of the imperial jurisconsults was to remove some of the disabilities under which women formerly suffered. According to the old law, they were placed under male guardianship through their whole life, but this restraint was first reduced to a legal fiction by compelling the guardian to do what they wished, and at last it was entirely abolished. Their powers both of inheritance and bequest were extended; they frequently possessed immense wealth; and their wealth was sometimes expended for purposes of public munificence. Their social freedom seems to have been unlimited, and they formed combinations among themselves which probably served to increase their general influence.321 The old religions of Greece and Italy were essentially oracular. While inculcating the existence of supernatural beings, and prescribing the modes according to which such beings were to be worshipped, they paid most attention to the interpretation of the signs by which either future events in general, or the consequences of particular actions, were supposed to be divinely revealed. Of these intimations, some were given to the whole world, so that he who ran might read, others were reserved for certain favoured localities, and only communicated through the appointed ministers of the god. The Delphic oracle in particular enjoyed an enormous reputation both among Greeks and barbarians for guidance afforded under the latter conditions; and during a considerable period it may even be said to have directed the course of Hellenic civilisation. It was also under this form that supernatural religion suffered most injury from the great intellectual movement which followed the Persian wars. Men who had learned to study the constant sequences of Nature for themselves, and to shape their conduct according to fixed principles of prudence or of justice, either thought it irreverent to trouble the god about questions on which they were competent to form an opinion for themselves, or did not choose to place a well-considered scheme at the mercy of his possibly interested responses. That such a revolution occurred about the middle of the fifth century B.C., seems proved by the great change of tone in reference to this subject which one perceives on passing from Aeschylus to Sophocles. That anyone should question the veracity of an oracle is a supposition which never crosses the mind of the elder dramatist. A knowledge of augury counts among the greatest benefits222 conferred by Prometheus on mankind, and the Titan brings Zeus himself to terms by his acquaintance with the secrets of destiny. Sophocles, on the other hand, evidently has to deal with a sceptical generation, despising prophecies and needing to be warned of the fearful consequences brought about by neglecting their injunctions. The stranger had a pleasant, round face, with eyes that twinkled in spite of the creases around them that showed worry. No wonder he was worried, Sandy thought: having deserted the craft they had foiled in its attempt to get the gems, the man had returned from some short foray to discover his craft replaced by another. “Thanks,” Dick retorted, without smiling. When they reached him, in the dying glow of the flashlight Dick trained on a body lying in a heap, they identified the man who had been warned by his gypsy fortune teller to “look out for a hidden enemy.” He was lying at full length in the mould and leaves. "But that is sport," she answered carelessly. On the retirement of Townshend, Walpole reigned supreme and without a rival in the Cabinet. Henry Pelham was made Secretary at War; Compton Earl of Wilmington Privy Seal. He left foreign affairs chiefly to Stanhope, now Lord Harrington, and to the Duke of Newcastle, impressing on them by all means to avoid quarrels with foreign Powers, and maintain the blessings of peace. With all the faults of Walpole, this was the praise of his political system, which system, on the meeting of Parliament in the spring of 1731, was violently attacked by Wyndham and Pulteney, on the plea that we were making ruinous treaties, and sacrificing British interests, in order to benefit Hanover, the eternal millstone round the neck of England. Pulteney and Bolingbroke carried the same attack into the pages of The Craftsman, but they failed to move Walpole, or to shake his power. The English Government, instead of treating Wilkes with a dignified indifference, was weak enough to show how deeply it was touched by him, dismissed him from his commission of Colonel of the Buckinghamshire Militia, and treated Lord Temple as an abettor of his, by depriving him of the Lord-Lieutenancy of the same county, and striking his name from the list of Privy Councillors, giving the Lord-Lieutenancy to Dashwood, now Lord Le Despencer. "I tell you what I'll do," said the Deacon, after a little consideration. "I feel as if both Si and you kin stand a little more'n you had yesterday. I'll cook two to-day. We'll send a big cupful over to Capt. McGillicuddy. That'll leave us two for to-morrer. After that we'll have to trust to Providence." "Indeed you won't," said the Surgeon decisively. "You'll go straight home, and stay there until you are well. You won't be fit for duty for at least a month yet, if then. If you went out into camp now you would have a relapse, and be dead inside of a week. The country between here and Chattanooga is dotted with the graves of men who have been sent back to the front too soon." "Adone do wud that—though you sound more as if you wur in a black temper wud me than as if you pitied me." "Wot about this gal he's married?" "Don't come any further." "Davy, it 'ud be cruel of us to go and leave him." "Insolent priest!" interrupted De Boteler, "do you dare to justify what you have done? Now, by my faith, if you had with proper humility acknowledged your fault and sued for pardon—pardon you should have had. But now, you leave this castle instantly. I will teach you that De Boteler will yet be master of his own house, and his own vassals. And here I swear (and the baron of Sudley uttered an imprecation) that, for your meddling knavery, no priest or monk shall ever again abide here. If the varlets want to shrieve, they can go to the Abbey; and if they want to hear mass, a priest can come from Winchcombe. But never shall another of your meddling fraternity abide at Sudley while Roland de Boteler is its lord." "My lord," said Edith, in her defence, "this woman has sworn falsely. The medicine I gave was a sovereign remedy, if given as I ordered. Ten drops would have saved the child's life; but the contents of the phial destroyed it. The words I uttered were prayers for the life of the child. My children, and all who know me, can bear witness that I have a custom of asking His blessing upon all I take in hand. I raised my eyes towards heaven, and muttered words; but, my lord, they were words of prayer—and I looked up as I prayed, to the footstool of the Lord. But it is in vain to contend: the malice of the wicked will triumph, and Edith Holgrave, who even in thought never harmed one of God's creatures, must be sacrificed to cover the guilt, or hide the thoughtlessness of another." "Aye, Sir Treasurer, thou hast reason to sink thy head! Thy odious poll-tax has mingled vengeance—nay, blood—with the cry of the bond." HoME古一级毛片免费观看
