Fortran MOD and MODULO giving same results - fortran

Compiling with gfortran --version == GNU Fortran (Homebrew GCC 8.2.0) 8.2.0
When I write the following test code I get the functions MOD and MODULO giving the same results. However, as I understand it from several sources, MOD is supposed to give the remainder, and MODULO is supposed to give the integer quotient.
program test
implicit none
print *, mod(17,3)
print *, mod(17.5,5.5)
print *, mod(17.5d0,5.5)
print *, mod(17.5,5.5d0)
print *, modulo(17,3)
print *, modulo(17.5,5.5)
print *, modulo(17.5d0,5.5)
print *, modulo(17.5,5.5d0)
end program test
Prints out:
2
1.00000000
1.0000000000000000
1.0000000000000000
2
1.00000000
1.0000000000000000
1.0000000000000000
The results are all the remainders, which is what MOD is supposed to do, but for MODULO isn't it supposed to print out the modulus, in this case 5 and then three 3's to varying precision?

You might be misunderstanding the purpose of these functions. They are supposed to give you the same answer, namely the remainder after division, when both arguments are positive. But consider the situation with negative arguments:
print *, mod( 17, 3)
print *, mod( 17., 3.)
print *, mod(-17, 3)
print *, mod(-17., 3.)
print *, modulo(-17, 3)
print *, modulo(-17., 3.)
which will return
2
2.000000
-2
-2.000000
1
1.000000
so the result of MODULO(A,P) will be positive for positive P and in fact must have the same sign as P. MODULO works differently depending on whether A and P are integers or real numbers. See the documentation for the exact definitions

integer, do loop, fortran, error

I have the following fortran code defined under. I am trying to change the length of the do loop if i change the value of n. When i try to compile i get the error:
‘a’ argument of ‘floor’ intrinsic at (1) must be REAL. But when i change q and w to be defined as real i get another error message. How can i fix this? q and w is clearly a integer when i use floor(...)
subroutine boundrycon(n,bc,u,v)
!input
integer :: n,bc
!output
real(8) :: u(n+2,n+2), v(n+2,n+2)
!lokale
integer :: j,i,w,q
n=30
q=floor(n/2)
w=(floor(n/2)+floor(n/6))
do j=q,w
u(q,j)=0.0;
v(q+1,j)=-v(q,j);
u(w,j)=0.0;
v(w+1,j)=-v(w,j);
end do
do i=q,w
v(i,q)=0.0;
u(i,q)=-u(i,q+1);
u(i,w+1)=-u(i,w);
v(i,w)=0;
end do
end subroutine boundrycon
Many people have already pointed this out in the comments to your question, but here it is again as an answer:
In Fortran, if you do a division of two integer values, the result is an integer value.
6/3 = 2
If the numerator is not evenly divisible by the denominator, then the remainder is dropped:
7/3 = 2
Let's look at your code:
q=floor(n/2)
It first evaluates n/2 which, since both n and 2 are integers, is such an integer division. As mentioned before, this result is an integer.
This integer is then passed as argument to floor. But floor expects a floating point variable (or, as Fortran calls it: REAL). Hence the error message:
"[The] argument of floor ... must be REAL."
So, the easiest way to get what you want is to just remove the floor altogether, since the integer division does exactly what you want:
q = n/2 ! Integer Division
If you need to make a floating point division, that is if you want two integer variables to divide into a real variable, you have to convert at least one of them to floating point before the division:
print *, 3/2 ! wrong, prints 1
print *, real(3)/2 ! right
print *, 3/2.0 ! right
print *, (3 * 1.0) / 2 ! right
print *, real(3/2) ! wrong, prints 1.0

Python arithmetic operation returns 0

read = True
while read:
my_input = int(raw_input())
print my_input
result = (1/6) * my_input * (my_input + 1) * (my_input +2)
if result == 0:
print ''
read = False
break
else:
print result
I wrote this little code snippet to solve 1 + (1+2) + (1+2+3+)... without looping over anything but the result is always 0 for some reason. I am using PyDev on Eclipse but I do not think that's even remotely the issue
Thank you
Multiplying by zero always results in zero.
>>> a = (1/6)
>>> print a
0
This is happening because Python is casting the resulting operation to integer.
In order to get a float result you can specify the values in decimal notation.
>>> a = 1.0/6.0
>>> print a
0.166666666667
Integer division.
When you divide (1/6) it comes out to 0 because of integer division.
When two ints are divided, they come out to the normal answer, minus anything after the decimal point.
For example, 1/4 would usually equal 0.25.
However, everything after the decimal point is dropped, so it comes out to 0.

DFT of sine(x) using FFTW in Fortran muddled output

The following is the code I have written to find the DFT of sine(x) over a period.
program fftw_test
implicit none
INTEGER FFTW_MEASURE
PARAMETER (FFTW_MEASURE=0)
INTEGER FFTW_ESTIMATE
PARAMETER (FFTW_ESTIMATE=64)
INTEGER FFTW_FORWARD
PARAMETER (FFTW_FORWARD=-1)
integer, parameter :: n = 8
integer :: i
double complex, dimension(0:n-1) :: input, output
double precision, parameter :: pi = 3.141592653, h = 2.0d0*pi/(n)
integer*8 :: plan
call dfftw_plan_dft_1d(plan, n, input, output, fftw_forward, fftw_measure)
do i = 0, n-1
input(i) = cmplx(sin(h*i), 0)
end do
call dfftw_execute_dft(plan, input, output)
output = output/n
output(0) = cmplx(0,0) ! setting oddball wavenumber to be 0
call dfftw_destroy_plan(plan)
do i = -n/2, n/2-1, 1
write(*, *) i, output(i+(n/2))
end do
end program
I am aware of the r2c (real to complex) function in the FFTW library. But I was advised to use the normal c2c function. So I defined the input function as a complex number with real part = sine(x) and complex part 0.
The DFT of sine(x) is supposed to be fk(-1) = cmplx(0, -0.5) and fk(1) = cmplx(0, 0.5) where fk(k) means the fourier coefficient of the k wavenumber
The output I received is as follows.
-4 ( 0.0000000000000000 , 0.0000000000000000 )
-3 ( 3.2001271327131496E-008,-0.49999998518472011 )
-2 ( -1.0927847071684482E-008, 1.4901161193847656E-008)
-1 ( -1.0145577183762535E-008, 1.4815279864022202E-008)
0 ( -1.0927847071684482E-008, 0.0000000000000000 )
1 ( -1.0145577183762535E-008, -1.4815279864022202E-008)
2 ( -1.0927847071684482E-008, -1.4901161193847656E-008)
3 ( 3.2001271327131496E-008, 0.49999998518472011 )
I am getting fk(-3) = cmplx(~0, -0.5) and fk(3) = cmplx(~0, 0.5). If I increase the grid size to 16, 32 or so I get -n/2 -1 and n/2 -1 wavenumbers with the required values instead of the -1 and 1 wavenumbers.
Does this have something to do with the way FFTW stores the output in the output array ? Or am I going wrong anywhere else ?
Also, I don't seem to be getting 'proper 0' where I should be. It is instead numbers of the order of 10^(-8) which I believe is the smallest my datatype double can hold. Is that something I should be worried about ?
Like #VladimirF already said, the ordering of the values is a bit different, than you might expect. The first half of the array holds the positive frequencies, the second half holds the negative frequencies in reverse order (see this link). And you might have to check the sign convention used by FFTW.
The problem with accuracy stems from your single precision value for pi and the use of cmplx which produces single precision complex numbers (use the keyword argument kind). In this case you could simply assign your real value to the complex variables. Applying these two changes yields a precision of ~1e-10. This can be improved by supplying a better approximation for pi (i.e. more than 10 digits).
E.g. the value pi = 3.141592653589793d0 yields results with accuracy of 1e-16.

Can't divide a smaller number by a larger number in Python

In python, i cannot divide 5 by 22. When I try this, it gives me zero-even when i use float?!!
>>> print float(5/22)
0.0
It's a problem with order of operations. What's happening is this:
* First python takes 5/22. Since 5 and 22 are integers, it returns an integer result, rounding down. The result is 0
* Next you're converting to a float. So float(0) results in 0.0
What you want to do is force one (or both) operands to floats before dividing. e.g.
print 5.0/22 (if you know the numbers absolutely)
print float(x)/22 (if you need to work with a variable integer x)
Right now you're casting the result of integer division (5/22) to float. 5/22 in integer division is 0, so you'll be getting 0 from that. You need to call float(5)/22.

How do I handle logical statements being applied to integer values with gfortran?

I'm rewriting some code to make a program compile with the gfortran compiler as opposed to ifort compiler I usually use. The code follows:
_Subroutine SlideBits (WORD, BITS, ADDR)
Implicit None
Integer(4) WORD
Integer(4) BITS
Integer(4) ADDR
Integer(4) ADDR1
ADDR1 = 32 - ADDR
WORD = (WORD .And. (.Not.ISHFT(1,ADDR1))) .Or. ISHFT(BITS,ADDR1)
End_
When I compile the above code using the gfortran compiler, I recieve this error:
WORD = (WORD .And. (.Not.ISHFT(1,ADDR1))) .Or. ISHFT(BITS,ADDR1)
Error: Operand of .NOT. operator at (1) is INTEGER(4)
All three of the variables coming into the subroutine are integers. I've looked around a bit and the gfortran wiki states that the gfortran compiler should be able to handle logical statments being applied to integer values. Several other sites I've visited either quote from the gnu wiki or agree with it. This is the first time I've seen this error as the Intel Fortran compiler (ifort) I normally use compiles cleanly.
The comments/answers above "may .Not. be" the correct responses, depending on your ultimate objective.
The likely purpose of that "WORD = .." statement is .NOT. to arrive at a boolean/logical result, but rather to obtain a kind of integer enumerator.
To see this, first "ignore" the bit shifting (iShift() etc), and just look at something like IntR = Int1 .Or. Int2. This will produce a "proper" integer result. The value will depend on not only the values of the int's, but also on their declared "type" (e.g. Integer(1), Integer(2), etc)
That is, the resulting value of WORD will be a "proper" integer; something like "33504" .. or whatever, (likely) .NOT. a 0/1 or -1/0 or .True./.False. etc
If you replace = Int1 .Or. Int2 with = (Int1 /= 0) .Or. (Int2 /= 0) ... you will get an "integer logical" (i.e. 0/1 etc) and WILL NOT produce the
desired enumerator ... if that is what you are looking for.
The .Or. on two Int's is a kind of bit-wise addition that produces a new num based on how the bits align/word size etc.
e.g. 3 == 011, 2 = 010 ... so, 3 .Or. 2 ==> 011 = 3
e.g. 3 == 011, 5 = 101 ... so, 3 .Or. 5 ==> 111 = 7
e.g. 5 == 101, 5 = 101 ... so, 5 .Or. 5 ==> 101 = 5
... similarly the .And. provides a kind of multiplication.
This technique is sometimes used to create enumerators somewhat like the use of powers of two (1,2,4,8...) are used to assign a value. Then, any sum of those
values can be decomposed, for example, into its constituent elements. For instance, if a(1) = 2, and a(2) = 8, then the sum 10 can be decomposed to
show the selections were the 1st and 4th elements of (1,2,4,8,...) etc.
It may help conceptualise this by noting that bit-shifting is like multiplying by 2 (for left shift) and dividing by 2 (for right shift).
BTW, you don't need to restrict to Fortran for this. Whack it into a VBA function and see the result in your spreadsheet VBA does not
have bit shift intrinsics, but they are available ... in any case it will demonstrate the Int1 .Or. Int2 behaviour even without bit shifting, such as
Function TwoIntsOr(Int1 As Long, Int2 As Long) As Long
'
TwoIntsOr = Int1 Or Int2
'
End Function
-- .Or. in Fortran
Function TwoIntsOr(Int1, Int2)
Integer :: TwoInstOr
Integer, Intent(In) :: Int1, Int2
!
TwoIntsOr = Int1 .Or. Int2
!
End Function
).
It is not standard Fortran to apply logical/boolean operators to integer variables. If the goal is a boolean result, the ideal solution would be to convert the types to logical. If, as it appears from casual examination, the code is really doing bit-wise operations, then it would be better to use the IAND and IOR intrinsic functions.
gfortran is expecting booleans for the logical operators and the code is providing integers. Use comparisons with zero instead of logical operators.
WORD = ((WORD /= 0) .And. (ISHFT(1,ADDR1) == 0)) .Or. (ISHFT(BITS,ADDR1) /= 0)
gfortran and ifort use different representations for .true. and .false. values, so it's best to stick to booleans when that's what the code needs. In a conversion from ifort to gfortran I got bit by the former representing .true. as -1 and the latter using 1 for the same purpose, instead of the traditional (C-like) not 0.
