Size of numbers in g95

[hoolio3...@yahoo.com]

I'm using g95 in windows 7.
When I multiply 35.0 * 0.30E+39 I get +Inf. Is there some limit around E+40?

Yes, with single precision reals you are limited  to around 1.0e38, with double precision you can go up to 1.0e308 with g95 and extended precision, you can use 1.0e4931
You can use double precision variable like this :
REAL (KIND=8) :: x, y

Best regards.

To find the precise limit of default real run this 2-line program:

print *,huge(1e0)
end program

In my x86_64 system that printed 3.4028235E+38
To find out the corresponding limit for double precision replace 1e0 by 1d0 in the program.
