<p><a name="index-Fortran-operators-and-expressions-1036"></a>
Operators must be defined on values of specific types. For instance,
<code>+</code> is defined on numbers, but not on characters or other non-
arithmetic types. Operators are often defined on groups of types.
<dl>
<dt><code>**</code><dd>The exponentiation operator. It raises the first operand to the power
of the second one.
<br><dt><code>:</code><dd>The range operator. Normally used in the form of array(low:high) to
represent a section of array.
<br><dt><code>%</code><dd>The access component operator. Normally used to access elements in derived
types. Also suitable for unions. As unions aren't part of regular Fortran,
this can only happen when accessing a register that uses a gdbarch-defined
union type.
