8.49 CMPLX — Complex conversion function

Description:
CMPLX(X [, Y [, KIND]]) returns a complex number where X is converted to the real component. If Y is present it is converted to the imaginary component. If Y is not present then the imaginary component is set to 0.0. If X is complex then Y must not be present.
Standard:
Fortran 77 and later
Class:
Elemental function
Syntax:
RESULT = CMPLX(X [, Y [, KIND]])
Arguments:

X The type may be INTEGER, REAL, or COMPLEX.
Y (Optional; only allowed if X is not COMPLEX.) May be INTEGER or REAL.
KIND (Optional) An INTEGER initialization expression indicating the kind parameter of the result.

Return value:
The return value is of COMPLEX type, with a kind equal to KIND if it is specified. If KIND is not specified, the result is of the default COMPLEX kind, regardless of the kinds of X and Y.
Example:
          program test_cmplx
              integer :: i = 42
              real :: x = 3.14
              complex :: z
              z = cmplx(i, x)
              print *, z, cmplx(x)
          end program test_cmplx
