Fortran90 How to take the power of elements of an array to, say, 5?

[stevenphy2]

Hi all,
as title, how to take the power of elements of an array to, say, 5?
I know how to do it using loops, but would it be very troublesome if I have to do it a thousand times?
Any ready made function in fortran90?
I hope there is...
I have googled it quite a bit, but seems nothing useful.

I'm not very knowledgeable about what's in or not in Fortran90 libraries, but it's no more troublesome to do it in a loop that runs a thousand times than in one that runs five times. A computer CPU will happily do all these computations in a small fraction of a second. The code to do this would be very simple.

Hello,

If v is an array, you can write v=v**5

The power operation will be applied element-wise to the array.
