Basic Building Blocks In all ways of life, the easiest way to solve most problems is to break them down into smaller sub_problems and then to deal with each of these in turn, further sub-dividing these subproblems as necessary.
Seven Golden Rules Always plan ahead Develop in stages Modularize Keep it simple Test throughly Document all programs Enjoy your programming
Programs and modules Main program unit program name use statements. Specification statements. Executable statements. end program name
Modules Programs for solving complex problems should be designed in a modular fashion. The problem should be divided into simpler subproblems, so that the subprograms can be written to solve each of them. Every program must include exactly one main program and may also include one or more modules.
Modules Modules are a second type of program unit. The basic structure of a module is similar to the main program unit. The initial module statement of each module specifies the name of that module based on the F language rules. A module unit ends with an end module statement incuding its name. A module does not contain any executable statements. A module may contain any number of subprograms which are seperated from the other statements by a contain statement.
Module program unit module name use statements. Specification statements. contains (Procedure definitions) subprogram_1 subprogram_2. subprogram_n end module name
Procedures A special section of program which is, in some way, referred to whenever required, is known as a “procedure”. Programs can be written by the programmer by some other person who allows the programmer to use them can be a part of the F language itself (i.e. intrinsic procedures whose names are reserved words must always be written in lower case). Subprograms can also be categorized as subroutines ( there are 5 intrinsic subroutines ) functions ( create only a single result ; there are 97 intrinsic functions available in F )
Procedures Divide and rule! Main program Procedure 1 Procedure 2 Procedure 3
Procedures Procedures - origin “Write your own” (homemade) Intrinsic (built-in, comes with F ) sin(x), cos(x), abs(x), … Written by someone else (libraries) Procedures (subprograms) – form Functions Subroutines
Procedures The main program and any subprogram need never be aware of the internal details of any other program or subprogram! Main program Procedure 1 Procedure 2 Procedure 3
Procedures name (argument_1, argument_2,...) Examples: a + b * log (c) -b + sqrt ( b * b – 4.0 * a * c)
Procedures A) PROBLEM : A farmer has a triangular field which he wishes to sow with wheat. Write a program that reads the lenghts of the 3 sides of the field (in meters) and the sowing density (in grams per square meters) Print the number of 10 kilo bags of wheat he must purchase in order to sow the whole field. B.) ANALYSIS : STRUCTURE PLAN of the PROBLEM read lenghts of the sides of the field ( a, b, c ) and calculate the area of the field area = ( s (s-a)(s-b)(s-c) ) ½ 2s = a + b + c read the sowing density calculate the quantity of wheat seed required calculate the number of 10 kilo bags this represents
C) SOLUTION program wheat_sowing ! This program calculate quantity of wheat required to sow a triangular field ! Variable declarations real : : a, b, c,s, area, density, quantity integer : : num_bags ! read the lengths of the sides of the field print *, “type the lengths of the 3 sides of the field in metres : “ read *, a, b, c ! calculate the area of the field s = 0.5 * ( a + b + c ) area = sqrt ( s * (s - a)*(s - b)*(s - c) ) ! read sowing density print *, “ What is the sowing density (gms/sq.m) ?” read *, density ! calculate quantity of wheat and the number of 10 kilo bags ! round up more than 1 kg quantity = density * area num_bags = * quantity ! print results print *, “the area of the field is “, area,” sq. metres” print *, “and “, num_bags,” 10 kilo bags will be required” end program wheat_sowing
Subprograms Functions : Functions may, of course, be provided by the user and they are normally implemented by means of an F subprogram which is physically placed within a module as is explained in Modules. On the other hand, very important principle which applies to all procedures in F is that the main program and any subprograms need never be aware of the internal details of any other program unit or subprograms. A function subprogram can be called by the main program another subroutine subprogram another function
Functions function name (d1, d2, …) result (result_name) Specifications part. Execution part end function name Variables Internal (local) variables Result variable (keyword result ) Dummy argument (keyword intent(in) ) attribute
Functions function cube_root result(root) ! A function to calculate the cube root of ! a positive real number ! Dummy argument declaration real, intent(in) :: x ! Result variable declaration real :: root ! Local variable declaration real :: log_x ! Calculate cube root by using logs log_x = log(x) root = exp(log_x/3.0) end function cube_root
Subroutines subroutine roots (x, square_root, cube_root, fourth_root, & fifth_root) ! Subroutine to calculate various roots of positive real ! Number supplied as the first argument, and return them in ! the second to fifth arguments ! Dummy argument declarations real, intent(in) :: x real, intent(out) :: square_root, cube_root, & fourth_root, fifth_root ! Local variable declaration real :: log_x ! Calculate square root using intrinsic sqrt square_root = sqrt(x) ! Calculate other roots by using logs log_x = log(x) cube_root = exp(log_x/3.0) fourth_root = exp(log_x/4.0) fifth_root = exp(log_x/5.0) end subroutine roots
Subroutines call name (arg1, arg2, …) intent(in), intent(out), intent(inout)
Arguments Actual arguments in the calling program Dummy arguments in the subroutine or function The order and types of the actual arguments must correspond exactly with the order and types of the corresponding dummy arguments
Objects Local variables vs. global variables private vs. public objects
Saving the values of local objects Local entities within a procedure are not accessible from outside that procedure Once an exit has been made, they cease to exist If you want their values to ‘survive’ between calls, use real, save :: list of real variables real, save::a, b=1.23, c Integer, save::count=0
Example MAIN PROGRAM program …….. real : : Alpha, Beta, Gamma. Alpha = Fkt ( Beta, Gamma ). end program ………. FUNCTION SUBPROGRAM function Fkt ( x, y ) real : : Fkt real : : x, y Fkt = x ** * y * y ** 2 x = 0.0 end function Fkt
Example: Write a subprogram which calculates the cube root of a positive real number MAIN PROGRAM program test_cube_root use maths real : : x print *, “Type a positive real number” read *, x Print *, “ The cube root of “,x,” is “, cube_root(x). a = b * cube_root(x) + d. end program test_cube_root
module maths Public:: cube_root contains function cube_root (x) result (root) ! a function to calculate the cube root of a positive real number ! Dummy arguments real, intent (in) : : x ! Result variable declaration real : : root ! Local variable declaration real : : log_x ! Calculate cube root by using logs log_x = log (x) root = exp (log_x / 3.0) function cube_root end module maths
Attributes intent (in): the dummy argument only provides information to the procedure and is not allowed to change its value any way intent (out): the dummy argument only returns information from the procedure to the calling program intent (inout): the dummy argument provides information in both directions
