Fortran – nested select case construct

Fortran nested select case construct

In this guide, we will discuss Fortran nested select case construct. You can use one select case statement inside another select case statement(s).

Syntax

select case(a) 

   case (100) 
      print*, "This is part of outer switch", a 

   select case(b) 
      case (200)
         print*, "This is part of inner switch", a 

   end select
      
end select

Example

program nestedSelectCase
   ! local variable definition 
   integer :: a = 100
   integer :: b = 200
 
   select case(a) 
      case (100) 
         print*, "This is part of outer switch", a 
         
      select case(b) 
         case (200)
            print*, "This is part of inner switch", a 
      end select
      
   end select
   
   print*, "Exact value of a is : ", a 
   print*, "Exact value of b is : ", b 
 
end program nestedSelectCase

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result −

This is part of outer switch 100
This is part of inner switch 100
Exact value of a is : 100
Exact value of b is : 200
