1 Introduction
:omputers are ever'where in our dail' lives. 0rom the des)top, laptop, phone, (an), and vehicle, it is
difficult to completel' get awa' from computers. .t onl' ma)es sense to learn a little a(out how a
computer reall' wor)s.
This te+t provides an introduction to programming and pro(lem solving using the 0ortran 15
programming language. This introduction is geared for non computer science maFors. ,s such, this
te+t is not a complete, comprehensive guide to the 0ortran 15 programming language. The primar'
focus is on an introduction to pro(lem solving and algorithm development. ,s such, man' details of
the 0ortran 15 language are omitted.
1.1 Why Learn Programming
0or science and technical maFors, computers are used e+tensivel' in all aspects of a each discipline.
9earning the (asics of how computers wor) and how programs are created is useful and directl'
applica(le.
/rogramming a computer is (asicall' applied pro(lem solving. #ou are given a pro(lem, the pro(lem
is anal'@ed, a solution developed, then that solution is implemented and tested. Enhanced pro(lem
solving s)ills can (e applied to an' endeavor. These (asic s)ills, once developed, can (e applied to
other programming languages, I,T9,>, or even spreadsheet macro7s.
"nfortunatel', learning programing and how a computer reall' wor)s ma' ruin some > movies.
1. Fortran

1.$ What Is % Program
, computer program is a series of instructions which ena(les the computer to perform a designated
tas). ,s this te+t will demonstrate, a computer must (e told what to do in precise, step6('6step detail.
These steps might include o(taining data, arithmetic operations 3additional, su(traction, multiplication,
division, etc.4, data storage, and information output. The computer will perform these tas)s as
instructed, even if the' don7t alwa's ma)e sense. :onseAuentl', it is the programmer who must
develop a solution to the pro(lem.
1.5 &"erating 'ystem
The =perating %'stem, or =%, is an interface (etween the user and the hardware 3:/", memor',
screen, dis) drive, etc.4. The =% is responsi(le for the management of the hardware, coordination of
activities and the sharing of the resources of the computer that acts as a host for computing applications
run on the machine. The common operating s'stems include various versions of 8indows. I,: =%
J, and "!.J59inu+. /rograms written in 0ortran will wor) on these operating s'stems.

, ver' (asic diagram of a computer architecture is as follows$
/rograms and data are t'picall' stored on the dis) drive. 8hen a program is e+ecuted, it must (e
copied from the dis) drive into the *,I memor'. The :/" e+ecutes the program from *,I. This is
similar to storing a term paper on the dis) drive, and when writing5editing the term paper, it is copied
from the dis) drive into memor'. 8hen done, the updated version is stored (ac) to the dis) drive.

.n this e+ample, the program is named 7first7. This file is t'picall' referred to as the source file.
!.! Text ,ditor
The first step is to create a te+t file named hw.f95 using a te+t editor. .t is useful to place programs
and various files into a wor)ing director'. This wa' the files can (e easil' found and not confused with
other, unrelated files and data. The hw.f95 file should (e created and placed in the wor)ing
director'.
, file name is t'picall' comprised of two partsP a name and an e+tension. .n this e+ample, the name is
hw and the e+tension is .f95. The usual e+tension for this a future programs will (e .f95 which
indicates that the file is a 0ortran 15 source file.
The following e+amples will use the hw.f95 file name. .f desired, a different file name ma' (e

$ Fortran 95 1 2asic ,lements
>efore (eginning to writing programs, it is necessar' to )now some of the (asic elements of the
0ortran language. This section descri(es some of the (asic elements of 0ortran. ,dditional
information will (e added in later sections.
$.1 3ariables
The (asic concept in a program is the concept of a varia(le. Varia(les in a program are li)e varia(les in
an alge(raic e+pression. The' are used to hold values and then write mathematical e+pressions using
them. 0ortran allows us to have varia(les of different t'pes.
, varia(le can hold one value at a time. .f another value is placed in the varia(le, the previous value is
over6written and lost.
Varia(le !ame Q <2
Varia(les must (e declared at the start of the program (efore the' are used.
4.1.1 )ariable Names
Each varia(le must (e named. The varia(le name is how varia(les, which are memor' locations, are
referred to (' the program. , varia(le name must start with a letter, followed (' letters, num(ers, or an
underscore 3-R24 and ma' not (e longer than 32 characters. :apital letters are treated the same wa' as
lower6case letters, 3i.e., -,,,2 is the same varia(le as -aaa24.
0or e+ample, some valid varia(le names are as follows$

!ote that the space 3(etween ne+t and month4 or the special character, S, is not allowed. ,dditionall',
each varia(le must have a t'pe associated as e+plained in the following sections.

:hapter < K 0ortran 15 D >asic Elements
4.1.2 *ey+or's
.n programming, a )e'word is a word or identifier that has a special 0ortran meaning. 0or e+ample, in
the -hello world2 program from the previous chapter, the word program had a special meaning in that it
used to note the start or (eginning of a program. ,dditionall', the word "rite has a special meaning to
note an output action 3e.g., writing some information to an output device, li)e the screen4.
%uch )e'words are reserved in that the' can not (e used for an'thing else such varia(le names. That is,
a varia(le name of program or write is not allowed.
,s additional 0ortran 15 statements and language constructs are e+plained, more )e'words will
identified. .n general, words used for 0ortran language statements, attri(utes, and constructs will li)el'
(e )e'words. , complete list of )e'words or reserved words is located in ,ppendi+ 0.
$. #ata Ty"es
0ortran, li)e man' other high level programming languages, supports several different data t%pes to
ma)e data manipulation easier. The most freAuentl' used data t'pes are integer and floating point.
=ther data t'pes are comple+ num(ers, characters and logical data.
.n a 0ortran statement, data can appear either as a literal 3e.g., an actual value such as 3.1<151, 1E,
65.<e6<4 or as a varia(le name which identifies a location in memor' to store the data.
The five (asic 0ortran 15 data t'pes are as follows$
1ype De$cription
integer Varia(le that is an integer or whole num(er 3not a
fraction4 that can (e positive, negative, or @ero.
rea& Varia(le that can set set to a real num(er.
comp&e' Varia(le that can (e set to a comple+ num(er.
character Varia(le that is a character or seAuence of
characters.
&ogica& Varia(le that can onl' (e set to .true. or .false.
.t is also possi(le to have derived t'pes and pointers. >oth of these can (e useful for more advanced
programs and are descri(ed in later chapters.
4.2.1 ,nteger

clarit'.
4.2.3 Comple#
, comple+ num(er

4.2.4 Character
, character
<

is a seAuence or set of
characters. :haracters and strings are t'picall' enclosed in Auotes. 0or e+ample, the upper case letter
-W2 is a character and -Hello 8orld2 is a string. The characters are represented in a standardi@ed
format referred to as ,%:...
4.2.- .ogical
, logical
E
is is onl' allowed to have two values, true or false. , logical is can also (e referred to as a
(oolean. The true and false values are e+pressed as .true. or .:a&$e. which are called logical constants.
The leading and trailing . 3period4 is reAuired for the true and false constants.
4.2.& /istorical Data 0yping
"nless a varia(le was e+plicitl' t'ped, older versions of 0ortran implicitl' assumed a t'pe for a
varia(le depending on the first letter of its name. Thus, if not e+plicitl' declared, a varia(le whose
name started with one of the letters I through O was assumed to (e an integerP otherwise it was
assumed to (e real. To allow older code to run, 0ortran 15 permits implicit t%ping. However, this is
poor practice and often leads to errors. %o, we will include the .I/9.:.T !=!E statement at the start
of all programs. This turns off implicit t'ping and the compiler will identif' an' varia(le not defined.
$.! #eclarations
0ortran varia(les must (e declared (efore an' e+ecuta(le statements. This section provides an
introduction to how varia(les are declared.

Varia(les initiali@ed at declaration can (e changed later in the program as needed.
4.3.3 Constants
, constant is a varia(le that can not (e changed during program e+ecution. 0or e+ample, a program
might declare a varia(le for ; and set it to 3.1<151. .t is unli)el' that a program would need to change
the value for the value for ;. The parameter Aualifier will set varia(le as a constant which sets the

8hen writing a program, it ma' (e necessar' to ta)e some action (ased on the outcome of comparing
the values of some varia(les. ,ll programming languages have some facilit' for decision6ma)ing.
That is, doing one thing if some condition is true and 3optionall'4 doing something else if it is not.
0ortran .0 statements and5or :,%E statements are used to allow a program ma)es decisions.
8.1 +elational ,x"ressions
The first step is to compare two values, often contained in varia(les. The wa' two values are compared
is with relational operators. The varia(les are often referred to as operands. *elational operators are
used (etween varia(les or operands of similar t'pes. That is real to real, integer to integer, logical to
logical, and character5string to character5string.
The (asic relational operators are$

!ot eAual to -> .ne.
The normal form will (e used for e+amples in this te+t. However, the alternate form ma' (e used at
an' time. The alternate forms are used to support older 0ortran programs.
, relational operation is used to form a relational e+pression. The result of a relational e+pression must
alwa's result in either a true or (alse result.
The ->>2 3two eAual signs4 is used to compare. The ->2 3single eAual4 is used for assignment 3setting
a varia(le4. The ->>2 does not change an' values, while the ->2 does.
0or e+ample, given the declaration of,
integer :: gamelives
it might (e useful to )now if the current value of gamelives is greater than 0.
31
:hapter C K %election %tatements
.n this case, the relational e+pression would (e,
(gamelives == 0)
8hich will result in a true or (alse result (ased on the value of -gamelives2.
8. Logical &"erators
9ogical operators are used (etween two logical varia(les or two logical e+pressions. The' are$
+ogica& Operator %'p&anation
.and. the result is true if both operands are true
.or. the result is true if either operand is true
.not. logical negate 3if true, ma)es false and if
false, ma)es true4
9ogical operators are used to com(ine relational operations as needed.
0or e+ample, given the declaration of,
integer :: gamelives, extralives
it might (e useful to )now if the current value of gamelives is greater than 0. .n this case, the
relational operation would (e,
( (gamelives == 0) .and. (extralives == 0) )
which will result in a true or (alse result. %ince the ,!; logical operation is used, the final result will
(e true onl' if (oth logical e+pressions are true.
,nother wa' of chec) the status might (e,
( (gamelives > 0) .or. (extralives > 0) )
which still results in a true or (alse result. However, since the or logical operation is used, the final
result will (e true if either logical e+pressions is true.
The relational operators have higher precedence than logical operators.
8.! IF 'tatements
.0 statements are used to perform different computations or actions (ased on the result of a logical

9 Loo"ing
8hen a series of 0ortran statements need to (e repeated, it is referred to as a loop or do$loop. ,
0ortran do$loop is a special control statement that allows a 0ortran statement or set of statements to (e
e+ecuted multiple times. This repetition can (e (ased on a set num(er of times, referred to as counter
controlled, or (ased on a logical condition, referred to as conditionall' controlled. Each of these
looping methods is e+plained in the following sections.
9.1 Counter Controlled Loo"ing
, counter controlled loop is repeats a series of one or more 0ortran statements a set num(er of times.
The general format of the counting loop is$
do count_variable = start, stop, step
<fortran statement(s)>
end do
where the count varia(le must (e an integer varia(le, start, stop, and step are integer varia(les or
integer e+pressions. The step value is optional. .f it is omitted, the default value is 1. .f used, the step
value cannot (e @ero. The Zfortran statement3s4[ is a seAuence of statements and is referred to as the
bod% of the do6loop. #ou can use an' e+ecuta(le statement within a do6loop, including .06THE!6
E9%E6E!; .0 and even another do6loop. >efore the do6loop starts, the values of start, stop, and step
are computed e+actl' once. Iore precisel', during the course of e+ecuting the do6loop, these values
will not (e re6computed.
The count varia(le receives the value of start varia(le or e+pression. .f the value of control6var is less
than or eAual to the value of stop6value, the Zfortran statement3s4[ part is e+ecuted. Then, the value of
step 31 if omitted4 is added to the value of control6var. ,t the end, the loop goes (ac) to the top and
compares the values of control6var and stop6value.
.f the value of control6var is greater than the value of final6value, the do$loop completes and the
statement following end do is e+ecuted.
0or e+ample, with the declarations,
integer :: counter, init=1, final=10, sum=0
the following do6loop,
do counter = init, final
sum = sum + counter
end do
write (*,*) "Sum is: ", sum
will add the num(ers (etween 1 and 10 which will result in 55. %ince the step was not specified, it is
defaulted 1.
55
:hapter 1 K 9ooping
,nother e+ample, with the declarations,
integer :: counter, init=1, final=10, step=2
and the following do6loop,
do counter = init, final, step
write (*,*) counter
end do
will displa' the odd num(ers (etween 1 and 10 31, 3, 5, B, 14.
,nother e+ample would (e to read some num(ers from the user and compute the sum and average of
those num(ers. The e+ample as)s the user how man' num(ers, reads that man' num(ers, computes
the sum, and the computes the average, and displa's the results.
program average
implicit none
integer :: count, number, sum, input
real :: average
write(*,*) "Enter count of numbers to read"
read(*,*) count
sum = 0
do number = 1, count
read(*,*) input
sum = sum + input
end do
average = real(sum) / real(count)
write *(*,*) "Average = ", average
end program average
The use of the function real)* converts the sum and count varia(les from integers to real values as
reAuired for the average calculation. 8ithout this conversion, sum5count division would (e interpreted
as dividing an integer (' an integer, 'ielding an integer result.
, final e+ample of a counter controlled loop is to compute the factorial of a positive integer. The
factorial of an integer n, written as n\, is defined to (e the product of 1, 2, 3, ..., n61, and n. Iore
precisel', n\ U 1 Y 2 Y 3 Y ... Y n.
integer :: factorial, n, i
factorial = 1
do i = 1, n
factorial = factorial * i
end do
the a(ove do6loop iterates n times. The first iteration multiplies factorial with 1, the second iteration
multiplies factorial with 2, the third time with 3, ..., the i
th
time with i and so on. Thus, the values that
are multiplied with the initial value of factorial are 1, 2, 3, ..., n. ,t the end of the do6loop, the value of
factorial is 1 Y 2 Y 3 Y ... Y n which is nF.

The e+it and c'cle statements are used to modif' the e+ecution of a do6loop. The exit statement is used
to e+it a loop. The e+it can (e used alone, (ut it is t'picall' used with a conditional statement to allow
e+iting a loop (ased on a specific condition. The exit statement can (e used in a counter controlled
loop or a conditionall' controlled loop.
0or e+ample, given the following declarations,
integer :: i
the following loop,
do i = 1, 10
if (i == 5) exit
write(*,*) i
end do
will displa' the num(ers from 1 to < s)ipping the remaining iterations. %ince the varia(le i is chec)ed
(efore the write statement, the value is not displa'ed with i is 5 and the loop is e+ited without
completing the remaining iterations.
The c%cle statement will s)ip the remaining portion of the do6loop and start (ac) at the top. The c%cle
statement can (e used in a counter controlled loop or a conditionall' controlled loop. .f the c'cle
statement is used within a counter controlled loop, the ne+t inde+ counter is updated to the ne+t
iteration, which could terminate the loop.

11 Characters and 'trings
0ortran was originall' developed for scientific and engineering application reAuiring significant
mathematical calculations. However, the 0ortran 15 language includes e+tensive character and string
handling capa(ilities.
11.1 Character and 'tring Constants
, character is a single character or s'm(ol, t'picall' enclosed in Auotes. 0or e+ample, letters 3-,262W2
and -a2 6 -@24, punctuation 3-\2, -,2, -N2, etc.4 , s'm(ols, 3-S2, -a2, -[2, etc.4, and digits -12, -22 are
characters.
%ome e+amples include$
"X"
"z"
"5"
:haracter and string constants are case sensitive. %o, character -J2 3upper6case4 is not the same as -+2
3lower6case4. 8hen a digit is enclosed in Auotes, it is treated as a character and conseAuentl'
arithmetic operations 3addition, su(traction, etc.4 are not allowed.
, string is a series of characters. , string consists of an ar(itrar' seAuence of characters also enclosed
in Auotes. %ome e+amples include$
"Hello World."
"456"
"1 2 3"
"456?"
"Good bye cruel world!!"
"Have a nice day?"
%ince digits enclosed in Auotes are not numeric values, the strings -1 2 32 and -<5EN2 are allowed.
, pro(lem arises if 'ou want to have a Auote in the string itself. , dou(le Auote will (e interpreted as a
single within a string.
"He said ""wow"" when he heard"
The dou(le6Auoting is sometimes referred to as an escape character. %trings and characters must (e
associated with the character data t'pe.
11. Character 3ariable #eclaration
, character varia(le is a varia(le that can contain a set of 1 or more characters. :haracter varia(les
must have a defined length. ,ll declarations are placed in the (eginning of the program 3after the
program statement4. ;eclaring character varia(les formall' defines the t'pe and sets aside memor'.
B5
:hapter 11 K :haracters and %trings
This is performed with a t'pe declaration statement in the form of$
<type> :: <list of variable names>
0or character varia(les, the t'pe is -character2. 0or e+ample, to define an character varia(le to hold the
da' of wee) 3i.e., -8ednesda'24, the following declaration,
character(len=9) :: dayofweek
8ould define the varia(le, da%o("ee-, with a ma+imum length of 1 possi(le characters.
,dditional e+amples include$
character(len=3) :: symbol1, symbol2
character :: symbol3
character(1) :: symbol5, symbol5
character(30) :: symbol6, symbol7
The declarations can (e entered in an' order, however the' must (e at the (eginning of the program.
The -lenU2 is optional and can (e omitted. 8hen the length is omitted entirel', the default length is set
to 1. This, -character2, -character3lenU14, and -character3142 are all the same.
8hen multiple varia(les are included in a single declaration, the' must all (e the same length. .f
different lengths are reAuired, separate declaration lines are reAuired.
11.! Character 3ariable Initiali(ation
.t is possi(le to declare a character varia(le and to set it is initial value at the same time. This
initiali@ation is not reAuired, (ut can sometime (e convenient. 0or e+ample, to define an character
varia(le, da%o("ee-, and set it to a da' of wee)$
character(len=9) :: todaysdate="Wednesday"
,dditional e+amples include$
character(9) :: thismonth="June", lastmonth, nextmonth="July"
character :: ltr1="A", ltr2="b"
%paces or no spaces (etween the varia(les, eAual signs, semicolons, and commas are allowed.
Varia(les initiali@ed at declaration can (e changed during program e+ecution as needed.
11.$ Character Constants
.t is possi(le to declare a character varia(le, set it is initial value, and ensure that the value can not (e
changed. 0or e+ample, to define an character constant, lang,
character(len=7), parameter :: lang="English"
To save counting the characters, the -Y2 can (e used. 0or e+ample,
character(len=*), parameter :: university="UNLV"
This instructs the 0ortran compiler to count the characters and set the appropriate length.
BE
:hapter 11 M :haracters and %trings
11.5 Character %ssignment
,ssignment is term for setting a character varia(le eAual to some value 3character or string4.
,ssignment is performed with a eAual 3U4 sign. 0or e+ample, given the declaration,
character(9) :: thismonth
, value can (e assigned to the varia(le as follows,
thismonth = "September"
8hen character varia(les are assigned the' are filled from the left and automaticall' padded with
(lan)s if necessar'. 0or e+ample, if the varia(le thismonth is reset
thismonth = "May"
The varia(le thismonth contains -Ia' 2 3i.e., -Ia'2 with an additional E (lan)s4.
11.0 Character &"erators
The onl' character operator is -552 3concatenation4 which simpl' concatenates two strings together. 0or
e+ample,
"University of" // "Nevada Las Vegas"
:haracters varia(les and literals ma' (e used with concatenation. 0or e+ample, given the following
declaration,
character(len=6) :: str1="ABCDEF", str2="123456"
character(len=12) :: str3
The following statements
str3 = str1 // str2
will set str& to -,>:;E0123<5E2.
11.5 Character 'ubstrings
, su(string is a su(set of a string. , su(string can (e selected (ased on the characters position or count
within the start with the first character corresponding to 1 and the second character corresponding to 2
as so forth for as man' characters are in the entire string. The su(string is specified with a start and
stop position in the form of 3start$stop4. The stop must (e greater than or eAual to the stop position.
0or e+ample, given the following declaration,
character(len=6) :: str1="ABCDEF", str2="123456", str3
The following statements
str3 = str1(1:3) // str2(4:6)
will set str& to -,>:<5E2.
BB
:hapter 11 K :haracters and %trings
11.8 Character Com"arisons
The standard relational operators 3-UU2, -[2, -[U2, etc.4 have some limitations when character data is
used. %imple comparisons, such as,
"A" < "D"
"ABC" == "ABC"
will wor) as e+pected. That is, (oth will evaluate to true.
However, when comparing, the following characters,
"A" > "a"
"100" < "20"
"ABC" <= "ABCD"
each will evaluate to false.
This is a result of the relational operations referring to the assigned values 3(ased on their location in
the ,%:.. ta(le located in ,ppendi+ ,4.
:omparisons (etween digits, -02 6 -12, will wor) relative to each other. :omparisons (etween upper6
case letters, -,2 6 -W2, will also wor) relative to each other. :omparisons (etween lower6case letters,
-a2 6 -@2, will also wor) relative to each other. %ince the lower case letters are after the upper case
letters in the ta(le an upper6case letter will (e greater than a lower6case letter. The digits are in the
ta(le (efore letters 3upper and lower6case4, so the' will evaluate as less than letters. This must (e ta)en
into account when dealing with character comparisons.
11.9 Intrinsic Character &"erations
There are a num(er of character oriented intrinsic operations. %ome of the (asic character oriented
functions include$
Function De$cription
,:H,*3.4 *eturns the character represented (' integer argument .

The final string will (e displa'ed (ac) to the screen. >ased on the ,%:.. ta(le in ,ppendi+ ,, there is
a specific, fi+ed difference (etween each upper and lower6case letter. Thus, in order to convert a lower6
case character to upper6case, that difference can (e su(tracted. However, in order to perform the
su(traction, each character needs to (e converted into an integer 3(ased on its value in the ,%:.. ta(le4.
The .,:H,*34 intrinsic function performs this conversion. ,fter the conversion 3su(traction4, the

1 File &"erations
0ile operations allow 0ortran programs to read from files and5or write to files. The (asic read and write
statements for file operations are the same as previousl' used with some additional information or
clauses.
1.1 File &"en
, file must (e opened (efore information can (e written or read from a file. .n order to open a file, the
operating s'stem needs some information a(out the file in order to correctl' identif' the file and
esta(lish the access parameters 3i.e., read, write, etc.4. The open statement -clauses2 is how is
information is provided.
The file open statement is as follows$
open (unit=<unit number>, file=<file name>, &
status=<file status>, action=<file action>, &
position=<file position>, iostat=<status variable>)
The following ta(le summari@es the various open statement clauses.

indicating the status 3success or failure4 of the
operation. .f the status varia(le is set to 0, the
operation is successful. .f the status varia(le is set
to [0, an error occurred and the operation was
unsuccessful.
The unit num(er assigned should (e (etween 10 and 11.
1. File Write
The file must (e opened for -write2 or -readwrite2 access (efore an' information can (e written to the
file. The general form of the write statement is as follows$
write (unit=<unit number>, fmt=<format statement>, &
advance="no", iostat=<variable>) &
<variables/expressions>
The write is the same as the simple write, however the unit num(er must (e the num(er assigned
during the open operation. !ormall', the ne+t write will (e on the ne+t line. The -advanceU2no22 is
optional. .f it is included, the ne+t write will (e on the same line where the previous line stopped.
0or e+ample to open a file named temp.t+t and place the string -0ortran E+ample2 and the num(ers <2,
and 3.1<151 on separate lines, the following declarations$
integer :: myanswer=42, myopenstatus, mywritestatus
real, parameter :: pi=3.14159
character(15) :: mymessage="Fortran Example"
character(8) :: myfilename="temp.txt"
and the following 0ortran statements,
open (unit=10, file=myfilename, status="replace", &
action="write", position="rewind", &
iostat=myopenstatus)
if (myopenstatus > 0) stop "Can not open file."
write(10, '(a/, i5/, f7.5)', iostat=mywritestatus) &
mymessage, myanswer, pi
would write the file information to the file.
1.! File +ead
The file must (e opened for -read2 or -readwrite2 access (efore an' information can (e read from the
file.
C<
:hapter 12 M 0ile =perations
The general form of the write statement is as follows$
read (unit=<unit number>, fmt=<format statement>, &
iostat=<variable>) <variables/expressions>
The read is the same as the simple read, however the unit num(er must (e the num(er assigned during
the open operation. .f the status varia(le is set to less than 0, that is an indication that the end of the file
has (een reached.
0or e+ample, if the file num(ers.dat e+ists and has two num(ers 3on separate lines4, the following
declarations,
integer :: num1, num2, myopenstatus, myreadstatus
character(11) :: myfilename="numbers.txt"
and the following 0ortran statements,
open (unit=12, file=myfilename, status="old", &
action="read", position="rewind", &
iostat=myopenstatus)
if (myopenstatus > 0) stop "Can not open file."
read(12, '(i5)', iostat=myreadstatus) num1
read(12, '(i5)', iostat=myreadstatus) num2
would write the file information to the file.

,n open file can (e reset (ac) to the (eginning. This might (e useful if the file needs to (e read twice.
The rewind statement will reset the file read pointer and su(seAuent reads will start (ac) at the
(eginning. The general form of a rewind statement is$
rewind(<unit number>)
8here the the unit num(er was assigned during the initial open. The file must (e open for the rewind
to wor) correctl'.
1.5 2ac/s"ace
8hen reading from a file, each successive read will return the ne+t line from the file. The computer
)eeps trac) of which lines have (een read and will automaticall' return the ne+t line. .t is possi(le to
read a line and then (ac)space and re6read the line again with the (ac)space statement.
The general form of a (ac)space statement is$
backspace(<unit number>)
8here the the unit num(er was assigned during the initial open. The file must (e open for the
(ac)space to wor). This is not used ver' often.
C5

1.0 Close File
,n open file should (e closed when it is no longer needed. The general form of a close statement is$
close(<unit number>)
8here the the unit num(er was assigned during the initial open.
0or the previous e+amples,
close(10)
close(12)
would (e used to close the opened files.

,n arra' is consider a direct access structure since an' element can (e accessed directl', without
accessing an' other elements.
The most (asic form of an arra' is a single dimension arra'. , single dimension arra' can (e thought

13.1.1 tatic Declaration
, static declaration means that the si@e or dimension of the arra' must (e defined initiall' 3(efore the
program is compiled4. The si@e definition can not (e altered. The general form an arra' declaration is,
type, dimension(extent) :: name1, name2, , nameN
where t'pe is the data t'pe 3integer, real, etc.4 of the arra'. The dimension specifies the the e+tent or
si@e, and name1, name2, b, name& are names of one or more arra's (eing declared.
11
:hapter 13 K %ingle ;imension ,rra's
0or e+ample, to declare an arra' of 1000 integers,
integer, dimension(1000) :: nums1
will create an arra', nums1, with space for 1000 integer values.
.n this e+ample the e+tent is 1000 which means that the arra' inde+es will range form 1 to 1000. The
e+tent can (e changed (' specif'ing the e+tent as$

13.1.2 tatic 2rray Declaration
%tatic arra' declarations are appropriate when the ma+imum si@e of the arra' is )nown ahead of time.
=nce the arra' is declared, the si@e can not (e e+tended. , static arra' is initiali@ed and the si@e of set

elements to 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, and 25.0,
real, dimension(4) :: costs=(/10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0/)
The num(ers, enclosed (etween the -52s are assigned in order. %o, costs314 is set to 10.0, costs324 is set
to 15.0, costs334 is set to 20.0, and costs3<4 is set to 25.0.
,dditionall', after declaration, it is possi(le to initiali@e all elements of an arra' to a single value with
an assignment statement. 0or e+ample,
costs = 0
will set all four elements of the costs arra' to @ero.
13.1.3 Dynamic 2rray Declaration

for accessing elements in an arra'. 0or e+ample, assuming i is declared as an integer, the following
code,

1$.1 %rray #eclaration
Iultidimensional arra' declaration is ver' similar to single6dimension arra' declaration. ,rra's must (e
declared (efore use. The t'pe of the arra' is defined followed (' the si@e or dimension, which in this case
reAuires a si@e for each dimension. ,s (efore, there are two wa's to declare an arra'P static and d'namic.
103
:hapter 1< K Iultidimensional ,rra's
14.1.1 tatic Declaration
, static declaration means that the si@e or dimension of the arra' must (e defined initiall' 3(efore the
program is compiled4. The si@e definition can not (e altered. The general form of an arra' declaration is,
type, dimension(extent,extent) :: name1, name2, , nameN
where t%pe is the data t'pe 3integer, real, etc.4 of the arra'. The dimension specifies the the si@e, and name1,
name2, b, name! are names of one or more arra's (eing declared.
0or e+ample, to declare a two6dimensional arra' 100 (' 100,
integer, dimension(100,100) :: nums1
will create an arra', nums1, with space for a total of 1000 integer values.
.n this e+ample the e+tent for each dimension is 100 which means that each of the two dimension7s
inde+es will range form 1 to 100. Each or (oth e+tent7s can (e changed (' specif'ing the e+tents as$
(smaller-integer:larger-integer, smaller-integer:larger-integer)
8hen onl' one num(er is specified, the smaller6integer is assumed to (e 1. 8hen (oth num(ers,
smaller and larger inde+, are specified the dimension of the arra' will range (etween the smaller6
integer and the larger6integer. 0or e+ample, a declaration of$
integer, dimension(0:9,0:9) :: ranges
will create an arra', ranges, with (oth inde+es (etween 0 and 1 3inclusive4. "sing inde+ values not
within the specified range will result in an error.
14.1.2 Dynamic Declaration
The same as single dimension, a d'namic declaration means that the dimension of the arra' can (e set when
the program is e+ecuted. =nce set, the dimensions can not (e altered. 8hen using a d'namic declaration,
the arra' t'pe and name must (e defined, which specifies onl' the name and t'pe of the arra', (ut does not
reserve an' space for the arra'. Then, during program e+ecution, the arra' can (e allocated which will
create the space for the arra'. =nl' after the arra' has (een allocated can it (e used.
0or e+ample, to declare an arra',
integer, dimension(:,:), allocatable :: nums2
reserving the name nums2, (ut not reserving an' space for values.
14.1.3 Dynamic 2rray 2llocation
To allocate the space for the arra', the allocate statement must (e used. >efore an arra' can (e allocated, it
must (e declared as allocata(le.
The general form of the allocate statement is$
allocate(<array name>, <dimension>, stat=<status variable>)
The status varia(le must (e an integer varia(le and will (e used (' the s'stem to place a status code
indicating the status 3success or failure4 of the operation. ,s (efore, if the status varia(le is set to 0, the
10<
:hapter 1< M Iultidimensional ,rra's
allocation was successful. .f the status varia(le is set to [0, an error occurred and the allocation was
not unsuccessful.
0or e+ample, given the declarations,
integer, dimension(:,:), allocatable :: nums2
integer :: allstat
the following allocate statement allocates space for 1000 num(ers in arra' nums2,
allocate(nums2(100,100), stat=allstat)
The si@e, 100 (' 100 in this e+ample, can (e a parameter or varia(le, (ut it must (e an integer. The
varia(le allst will (e set to 0 if the allocation is successful and [0 if the allocation failed.
1$. %ccessing %rray ,lements
To access elements in an arra', the arra' name and the an inde+ must (e specified. The inde+ must include
an integer or integer e+pression for each dimension enclosed in parentheses. The general format is,
array-name(<integer expression>, <integer expression>)
0or e+ample, given the declaration,
real, dimension(10,5) :: table1
would declare an arra', table1, with a total of 50 elements. To place a value 121.3 in the first row and first
column,
table1(1,1) = 121.3
,nd to place 1C.125 in the tenth row and fifth column,
table1(10,5) = 98.125
The inde+ in these e+amples is a literal. However, the inde+ can (e an integer varia(le or integer
e+pression. 0or e+ample, given the following declarations,
real, dimension(10,10) :: tmptable
integer :: i=2, j=3
would declare an arra', tmptable, with ten elements.
To place a value 1C.E in the second row, fourth column,
tmptable(i,j+1) = 98.6
To access the same element, su(tract 3.0 and place the result (ac) into the same location,
tmptable(i,j+1) = tmptable(i,j+1) 3.0
105
:hapter 1< K Iultidimensional ,rra's
To set all elements of the tmptable arra' to 0.0, a nest loop could (e used as follows$
do i = 1, 10
do j = 1, 10
tmptable(i,j) = 0.0
end do
end do
.n addition, the entire arra' can (e set to 0 in the following statement,
tmptable = 0.0
,rra' elements can (e accessed as man' times as needed.

14.3.2 Create the 2lgorithm
The main routine will displa' an initial header, get and chec) the count value, and allocate the arra'.

inscri(ed circle. The /'thagorean theorem allows us to determine the distance of the point from the
origin 30.0,0.04. Thus, for each point, we will calculate the

0ortran su(programs are the mechanism to (rea) a large program into multiple smaller parts. This
allows for a more comprehensive program design.
15.1 'ub"rogram Ty"es
There are two t'pes of 0ortran su(programs$ (unctions and subroutines, each of which is e+plained in
the following sections.
15. Program Layout
The functions and su(routines can (e defined as either internal or e+ternal. .nternal functions and
su(routines are (e defined within the program statement 3i.e., (efore the -end program Zname[2
statement4.
The (asic la'out for (oth internal and e+ternal su(programs is as follows$
program <name>
<declarations>
<program statements>
contains
<internal functions or subroutines>
end program <name>
<external functions or subroutines>
8here a com(ination of (oth or either internal or e+ternal routines is allowed.
113
:hapter 15 K %u(programs
1-.2.1 ,nternal Routines
.nternal routines reAuire the )e'word -contains2 to separate the from the program code. /rimaril',
internal routines will (e used in this te+t for simplicit'. There is no limit to the num(er of internal
routines. However, if too man' routines are included the file will (ecome large and large files can (e
difficult to wor) with.
1-.2.2 "#ternal Routines
E+ternal functions are defined outside the program statement 3i.e., after the -end program Zname[2
statement4 or in another file. 0or larger programs e+ternal routines would (e used e+tensivel'.
However, additional set6up statements, including an external declaration and an inter(ace bloc-, are
reAuired. The definition and use of e+ternal routines is not addressed in this chapter.
15.! %rguments
8hen writing and using 0ortran su(programs, it is t'picall' necessar' to provide information to and5or
o(tain results from the functions or su(routines. This information, in the form of varia(les, is referred
to as an argument or arguments. The argument or arguments in the calling routine is referred to as
actual arguments and the argument or arguments in the function or su(routine are referred to as (ormal
arguments. The formal arguments ta)e on the values that are passed from the calling routine.
The onl' wa' to transfer values in to or out of a function or su(routine is through the arguments. ,ll
other varia(les are independent and isolated.
1-.3.1 2rgument ,ntent
%u(programs often return values (' altering or update the some of the arguments. 8hen passing a
varia(le, the information 3value or values4 can (e passed into the function or su(routine. This is
referred to as -intent3in42. .f the varia(le is to (e set (' the su(routine, that is referred to as
-intent3out42. .f the varia(le contains a value or values 3i.e., an arra'4 that are to (e passed into the
su(routine and altered in some wa' (' the su(routine and returned (ac) to the calling routine, that is
referred to as -intent3inout42.
15.$ 3ariable 'co"e
The varia(le scope refers to where a given varia(le can (e accessed. %cope rules tell us if an entit'
3i.e., varia(le, parameter, and5or function4 is visi(le or accessi(le at certain places. /laces where an
entit' can (e accessed or visi(le is referred as the scope of that entit'. The varia(les defined in a
su(program is generall' not visi(le to the calling routine. Thus a varia(le x in the calling routine is
different than a varia(le x in the su(program.
15.5 6sing Functions and 'ubroutines
>efore a function or su(routine can (e used, it must (e defined or written. =nce defined, the
su(routine or function can (e used or called. , function is called (' using its name as we have done
with the intrinsic functions. 8hen a program uses a su(routine it is called with a call statement.

:hapter 15 M %u(programs
1-.-.1 2rgument Passing
8hen using functions and5or su(routines, information 3values, varia(les, etc.4 are t'picall' passed to or
from the routines. ,rgument association is a wa' of passing values from actual arguments to formal
arguments. .f an actual argument is an e+pression, it is evaluated and passed to the corresponding
formal argument. .f an actual argument is a varia(le or constant, its value is passed to the
corresponding formal argument. There must (e a one6to6one correspondence (etween the actual
argument 3calling routine4 and the formal argument 3su(routine5function4.
The arguments in the call are matched up to the arguments in the su(routine (' position. Each of the
arguments is matched (' position. The names of the varia(les do not need to match, however the data
t'pes must match.

call example (x, y, z)
...

subroutine example (a, b, c)
...
=ther varia(les in either the calling routine or the su(routine are isolated from each other. ,s such, the
same varia(le name can (e re6used in (oth the calling routine and the su(routine 3and refer to different
values4.
15.0 Functions
, function is a special t'pe of 0ortran su(program that is e+pected to return a single result or answer.
, function will t'picall' accept some )ind of input information and (ased on that information, return a
result. The two t'pes of 0ortran functions are descri(ed in the following sections.
1-.&.1 ,ntrinsic %unctions
, descri(ed previousl', an intrinsic (unction is a (uilt6in function that is alread' availa(le. %ome of the
intrinsic functions alread' descri(ed include sin)*, cos)*, tan)*, real)*, int)*, and nint)*. , more
comprehensive list is contained in ,ppendi+ ;.
1-.&.2 8ser1De<ine' %unctions
, user6defined function are functions that a written (' the user for specific or speciali@ed reAuirements.
115
:hapter 15 K %u(programs
The general form of a user6defined function is a follows$
<type> function <name> ( <arguments> )
<declarations>
<body of function>
<name> = expression
return
end function <name>
The Zt'pe[ is one of the 0ortran data t'pesP real, integer, logical, character, or comple+. .t is possi(le
to place the t'pe declaration on a separate line from the functions statement.
The information, in the form of arguments, is passed from the calling routine to the function. Each of
the passed arguments must (e declared and the declaration must include the t'pe and the intent. The
arguments in the calling routine and the function must match and are matched up (' position.
,n e+ample function to convert a 0ahrenheit temperature to :elsius temperature would (e as follows$
real function fahr_to_celsius(ftemp)
real, intent(in) :: ftemp
fahr_to_celsius = (ftemp 32.0) / 1.8
return
end function fahr_to_celsius
end program quiz
8hich, given a 0ahrenheit temperature, will return the :elsius temperature. The single input argument,
(temp, is declared to (e a real value and -intent3in42, which means that the value is e+pected to (e
coming into the function and can not (e changed. The final value is returned to the calling routine ('
assigning a value to the function name, (ahr1to1celsius, in this e+ample.
1-.&.2.1 i'e "<<ects
, side$e((ect is when a function changes one or more of its input arguments. %ince the arguments can
(e declared as -intent3out42 or -intent3inout42, the function could change the arguments. .n general,
this is consider poor practice and should (e avoided. !one of the e+amples in this te+t will include or
utili@e side6effects.
15.5 'ubroutines
, su(routine is a 0ortran su(program that can accept some )ind of input information and (ased on that
information, return a result or series of results.
11E
:hapter 15 M %u(programs
The general form of a su(routine is a follows$
subroutine <name> ( <arguments> )
<declarations>
<body of subroutine>
return
end function <name>
The information, in the form of arguments, is passed from the calling routine to the function. Each of
the passed arguments must (e declared and the declaration must include the t'pe and the intent. The
arguments in the calling routine and the su(routine must match and are matched up (' position.
0or e+ample, given the following simple program to find the sum and average of three num(ers.
program subexample
implicit none
real :: x1=4.0, y1=5.0, z1=6.0, sum1, ave1
real :: x2=4.0, y2=5.0, z2=6.0, sum2, ave2
call smave(x1, y1, z1, sum1, ave1)
write(*,'(a,f5.1,3x,a,f5.1)') "Sum=", sum1, "Average=", ave1
call smave(x2, y2, z2, sum2, ave2)
write(*,'(a,f5.1,3x,a,f5.1)') "Sum=", sum2, "Average=", ave2
contains
subroutine smave (a, b, c, sm, av)
real, intent(in) :: a, b, c
real, intent(out) :: sm, av
sm = a + b + c
av = sm / 3.0
return
end function smave
end program subexample
The arguments in the first call 3x1, %1, 21, sum1, and a'e14 are matched up to the arguments in the
su(routine 3a, b, c, sm, and a'4 (' position. That is, the x1 from the call is matched with the a in the
su(routine. The arguments in the second call 3x2, %2, 22, sum2, and a'e24 are again matched up to the
arguments in the su(routine 3a, b, c, sm, and a'4 (' position. 8hile the names of the varia(les do not
need to match, the data t'pes must match. Varia(les declared in a function or su(routine are not the
same as varia(les in the calling routine. This is true, even if the' are the same name\

The main is e+pected to define the appropriate derived data t'pe for time, declare some varia(les of
that t'pe and call the su(routines. The first su(routine will read a time from the user which will consist
of hour, minutes, and seconds in 2<6hour format. This su(routine will (e called twice. The second
su(routine will add the times together and provide a result.
The first su(routine to read a time from the user is e+pected to perform error chec)ing on the data
entered (' the user. %pecificall', this reAuires that hours range from 0 to 23, minutes range from 0 to
51, and seconds range from 0 to 51. Values outside these ranges, E0 seconds for e+ample, are not valid.
0or this simple e+ample, we will re6prompt for incorrect data entr' 3until correct data is provided4.
The second su(routine will add the two times and must ensure that the correct ranges for seconds and
minutes are maintained. 8hen adding the two times, it is possi(le to add the seconds, minutes, and
hours. However, if the sum of the two seconds values e+ceeds E0, the seconds must (e adFusted and
the minutes must (e updated accordingl' 3add one e+tra minute4. This applies to the minutes as well.
However, when added in this e+ercise, the final time sum hours ma' e+ceed 23 hours.

The following provides some specific instructions for getting started. These instructions are
specificall' geared for using a 8indows (ased /:s. This includes all versions of 8indows from
8indows J/, 8indows Vista, 8indows B, and 8indows C.
The (asic process is ver' similar to I,: and 9inu+ 3which is not covered here4.
19.1 Wor/ing Files
>efore wor)ing with 0ortran program files, 'ou should decide where 'ou will (e wor)ing 3:d$ drive,
"%> drive, networ) drive, etc.4 and create a wor)ing director' where 'our files will (e placed. .n
general, it will (e easier if 'our 0ortran files are not mi+ed with other, unrelated files. This director'
should (e someplace 'ou can easil' get to it. That might (e on 'our home wor)station5laptop, on a
networ) drive, or on a "%> drive.
19. &btaining The Com"iler
0irst, 'ou will need to download and install the !" 0ortran compiler. The main we( page for the
!" 0ortran compiler is$
http$55gcc.gnu.org5fortran5
This page provides general information regarding the 0ortran compiler development effort, proFect

latest installer. :lic) on the lin) and download the 8indows installation program. #ou will need to
access this file to perform the actual installation.
This version will wor) on all supported 8indows versions including 8indows B and 8indows C.
,fter downloading, install the compiler. The installation can (e accomplished (' dou(le6clic)ing on

19.! Command Prom"t
.n order to compile and wor) with programs under 8indows, we will need to provide t'ped commands
to the computer. This is done from within the -:ommand /rompt2 utilit'.
1:.3.1 =in'o+s >P9)ista95
.n 0or 8indows B, the -:ommand /rompt2 is usuall' under )rogram$ Q .cce$$orie$ Q Command

1:.3.2 =in'o+s 6
0or 8indows C, the -:ommand /rompt2 can (e found (' using %earch and is listed under the
2indo3$ Sy$tem heading.
1:.3.3 Comman' Prompt =in'o+
The open :ommand /rompt window for an' 8indows version will loo) similar to the following$
=nce the :ommand /rompt is open, the device and director' for the wor)ing files can (e set.
1:.3.4 De4ice an' Directory
.n order to compile and wor) with programs under 8indows, a wor)ing director' should (e
esta(lished. This is where the program files will (e stored. 0irst, esta(lish the device of the wor)ing
director'. .f the files are on :$d 3the main hard drive4, the device is alread' set. .f the wor)ing
director' is located on a networ) drive, alternate drive, or "%> drive, the device will need to (e set.
"sing the -I' :omputer2, determine the device or drive letter where 'ou director' is located. T'pe
that letter at the prompt in the :ommand /rompt window. 0or e+ample, if 'our device is 9, 'ou would
t'pe -RV2.
,t the -G$d[2 'ou will need to change director' into the director' where 'our files are 3if 'ou created
one4. The -cd ZdirRname[2 command can (e used. 0or e+ample, if the director' is named cs11B, the
command would (e -cd c$1172.

,t this point, t'ping dir 3for director'4 will provide a list of files in the director'. 8hile the format
will appear different, the files are the same as shown in the /y Computer listing.
19.$ Com"iler Installation 3erification
To ensure the compiler is installed correctl', open the -:ommand /rompt2, and t'pe g:ortran at the
prompt.
K:\cs117> gfortran
gfortran: no input files
The -no input files2 message means that the installation was completed correctl'. .t is not necessar' to
set the device or director' in order to perform this verification.
However, if the following message is displa'ed,
K:\cs117> gfortran
'gfortran' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
means that the 0ortran compiler is not installed. The installation issue must (e addressed (efore
continuing. =nce the installation is completed successfull', the compilation steps detailed in :hapter 3
can (e completed.
19.5 Com"ilation
=nce the 0ortran compiler is installed, programs can (e compiled. =pen the -:ommand /rompt2, and
set the device and director' as appropriate.
,t this point the program can (e compiled, using -gfortran. The optional -6o2 Aualifier is used to set
the name of the output file. To e+ecute, 'ou can t'pe the name of the e+ecuta(le 3that was specified
with the -6o24.
To compile the e+ample program, the following command would (e entered$
K:\cs117> gfortran -o hw hw.f95
This command will tell the 7gfortran7 compiler to read the file hw.f95 and, if there are no errors,
create an e+ecuta(le file named hw.exe. .f there is an error, the compiler will generate an error
message, sometimes cr'ptic, and provide a line num(er. %uch errors are usuall' the result of mist'ping
one of the instructions. ,n' errors must (e resolve (efore continuing.

enerating random num(ers is a common reAuirement for man' pro(lems. The following provides a
summar' of utili@ing the (uilt6in 0ortran random num(er generator routines.
;.1 Initiali(ation
The first step in generating random num(ers is to initiali@e the 0ortran random num(er generator,
randomRseed34. The most (asic initiali@ation is performed as follows$
call random_seed()
This will initiali@e the random num(er generator with a default seed. ,s such, each e+ecution will re6
generate the same series of random num(ers for each e+ecution. 8hile this ma' not appear ver'
random, since successive e+ecutions generate the same series of random num(ers, the testing is more
repeata(le.
;. -enerating +andom =umber
To reAuest a random num(er, a real varia(le must (e declared and then passed to the following call to
the (uilt6in randomRnum(er34 routine. 0or e+ample$
call random_number(x)
The random num(er (etween 0.0 and 1.0 such that 0.0 _ random num(er Z 1.0.
.n order to o(tain a larger num(er, it can (e multiplied (' an appropriate scale. 0or e+ample, to
simulating the roll of a dice, a random integer num(er (etween 1 and E would (e reAuired. The
following code would o(tain the random num(er and then scale it and convert to integer as reAuired.
call random_number(x)
die = int(x*6.0) + 1
%ince the 0.0 is a possi(le value and 1.0 is not 3 0.0 _ random num(er Z 1.04 1 is added to ensure that 0
can not (e assigned to the varia(le die. 0urther, since .111 is the largest possi(le value 3since 1.0 is
not4, and .111 Y E will generate E 35.1 truncated to 5 with 1 added4.

22.4.1 Plot Program
The following is an e+ample program that generates points, opens a plot file, write the header, data
points, and footer.
program plotExample
implicit none
real, dimension(200) :: x, y
integer :: i, opnstat
! Generate x and y points
do i = 1, 200
x(i) = i * 0.05
y(i) = sin(x(i)) * (1-cos(x(i)/3.0))
end do
! Output data to a file
open (12, file="data.plt", status="replace", &
action="write", position="rewind", &
iostat=opnstat)
if (opnstat > 0) stop "error opening plot file."
! Write header
write (12, '(a)') "# Example Plot File"
write (12, '(a)') "set title ""Example Plot Function"" "
write (12,'(a,a)') "plot ""-"" notitle with dots ",
"linewidth 2 linecolor 2"
! Write points to file.
do i=1,100
write(12,*) x(i), y(i)
end do
! Write footer and close file
write (12, '(a)') "end"
write (12, '(a)') "pause -1"
close(12)
end program plotExample
The data file name can (e changed or read from the user.
