FORTRAN

Fortran or FORmula TRANslation was developed in the 1950's by IBM as an alternative to Assembly Language. First successfull high level language. FORTRAN 66 First HLL Standard FORTRAN 77 Character data types Improved Do Loops and If statements Fortran 90 Free format source code Modern control structures Derived Data Types Powerful array notation Dynamic Memory allocation Operator overloading Keyword argument passing The INTENT attribute Control of numeric precision Support for Modules Fortran 95 minor improvements Fortran 2003 Object oriented Fortran Fortran 2008 Concurrent Programming Fortran 2015 Minor improvements BACKGROUND Programming Languages Family Tree

You will want to be comfortable using an text-editor like vi or emacs – that supports syntax highlighting and auto-indentation etc... There is an ide called Photran that I have never used. I prefer emacs but both vi and emacs have similar functionality. I usually run emacs in the terminal (fast!) emacs program.f90 –nw Important emacs commands to remember ctrl-x ctrl-f (find a file) ctrl-x ctrl-s (save current file) ctrl-x ctrl-c (close emacs) ctrl-s (search) ctrl-x 2 (split window horizontally) ctrl-x 3 (split window vertically) ctrl-x 0 (close current window) ctrl-x o (switch to next window) ctrl-x k (kill current file) ctrl-x b (switch to next file alt-% (search and replace) ctrl-a (start of line) ctrl-e (end of line) Also good to remember 'ctrl-z' to suspend emacs and 'fg' to resume DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

Open a terminal in mac or linux Putty or MobaxTerm in windows ssh @bluehive.circ.rochester.edu mkdir fortran_class cd fortran_class emacs hello_world.f90 CONNECTING TO BLUEHIVE

I will use intel compiler although gfortran compiler will also work. module load intel ifort hello_world.f90 ./a.out COMPILING

Exercise 1: Write a program that uses Heron's formula to calculate the area of a triangle given the length of its three sides. EXERCISE 1

/public/jcarrol5/fortran/ex1b.f90 Format specifiers. write(*,'(A10,2F12.5,I3,L1)') string1, float1, float2, int1, logical1 I – integer A – string F – float E – exponential EN – scientific notation ES – engineering notation All format specifiers can be modified with a repeat count and width. In addition, the precision can be specified for Format specifiers for real numbers. 4F10.5 means use a floating point format of width 10 and 5 decimal points 4 times. FORMAT SPECIFIERS

/public/jcarrol5/fortran/ex2.f90 Fortran programs can contain subroutines and functions. Functions return a value Subroutines do not Fortran normally passes variables by reference – so be careful when modifying function or subroutine arguments. Best to declare the intent to avoid common mistakes. If a constant or an expression is passed as an argument, a temporary variable is created to store the result of the expression before being passed to the subroutine or function. SUBROUTINES AND FUNCTIONS
10
Modify previous program to use a function to calculate the area of the triangle. Use format specifiers for the output. EXERCISE 2
11
/public/jcarrol5/fortran/ex3.f90 Fortran has 3 basic control structures DO loops With a counter (an optional increment) DO counter=start, end[, increment] ... END DO With a while statement DO WHILE (a < b) ... END DO With an exit statement DO ... IF (condition) EXIT END DO IF blocks IF (condition) THEN ... ELSE IF (other condition) THEN ... ELSE ... END IF SELECT CASE statements SELECT CASE (var) CASE(constant1) execution statements CASE(constant2) execution statements CASE DEFAULT execution statements END SELECT CONTROL STRUCTURES
12
Write a Fortran program to calculate the number of uniq combinations of size r taken from a set of size n – ie 'n choose r'. Validate that n and r are both non-negative and that n is greater than or equal to r. Write a factorial function Write a combination function that calls the factorial function Format the output EXERCISE 3
13
/public/jcarrol5/fortran/ex4.f90 Often a subroutine or function may want to call itself. This is called recursion. Recursive subroutines and functions require the recursive keyword. Need to have some termination condition RECURSIVE FUNCTIONS AND SUBROUTINES
14
Modify the factorial function in your combination program to be recursive. EXERCISE 4
