What does the dot after a digit mean in Fortran?

For example, I have a line like this
X=AL*(RM*AM+SQRT(AM*AM+(1.-RM*RM)*AN*AN))/(AM*AM+AN*AN)
What does 1 mean in it .?
Or this line. The same.
A = SQRT(1.-DCP*DCP)
Please tell me

A REAL type literal consists of one or more digits and a decimal point
In simple terms, this is equivalent to 1.0 (of type REAL)
