particular variable).
name[1, 2...]

in an array. Several comma-delimited boundary values
make a multi-dimensional array.

end type
Required. Closes type declaration.
Details
Structures can include any number of members, and each member can be of any
type. Any member can also be an array or another structure. Nesting of up to 8
levels is allowed (i.e. "array within a structure within a structure within and array"
-- each structure or array is one level and up to 8 levels are possible).
Type...end type is only a declaration, not a variable definition! You still need to
use a regular
statement to define a variable of the type you have declared.

'declare new type

as

s
as
