NAME

product(3f) - [FORTRAN:INTRINSIC:ARRAY REDUCTION] Product of array elements

SYNTAX

o result = product(array[, mask])
o result = product(array, dim[, mask])

DESCRIPTION

Multiplies the elements of ARRAY along dimension DIM if the corresponding element in MASK is TRUE.

ARGUMENTS

ARRAY
  Shall be an array of type INTEGER, REAL or COMPLEX.
DIM (Optional) shall be a scalar of type INTEGER with a value in the range from 1 to n, where n equals the rank of ARRAY.
MASK
  (Optional) shall be of type LOGICAL and either be a scalar or an array of the same shape as ARRAY.

RETURN VALUE

The result is of the same type as ARRAY.

If DIM is absent, a scalar with the product of all elements in ARRAY is returned. Otherwise, an array of rank n-1, where n equals the rank of ARRAY, and a shape similar to that of ARRAY with dimension DIM dropped is returned.

EXAMPLE

Sample program:

    program demo_product
    implicit none
      integer :: x(5) = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5 ]
      print *, product(x)                    ! all elements, product = 120
      print *, product(x, mask=mod(x, 2)==1) ! odd elements, product = 15
    end program demo_product

STANDARD

[[Fortran 95]] and later

CLASS

Transformational function
