# ?lamc1

Called from ?lamc2. Determines machine parameters given by beta, t, rnd, ieee1.

## Syntax

call slamc1( beta, t, rnd, ieee1 )

call dlamc1( beta, t, rnd, ieee1 )

## Description

The routine ?lamc1 determines machine parameters given by beta, t, rnd, ieee1.

## Output Parameters

beta

  INTEGER. The base of the machine.

t

  INTEGER. The number of (beta) digits in the mantissa.

rnd

  LOGICAL.

  Specifies whether proper rounding ( `rnd = .TRUE.` ) or chopping ( `rnd = .FALSE.` ) occurs in addition. This may not be a reliable guide to the way in which the machine performs its arithmetic.

ieee1

  LOGICAL.

  Specifies whether rounding appears to be done in the ieee 'round to nearest' style.
