i need help with fortran can anyone help |

Hi Olufrost,what exactly do you want to know in fortran 77 , its kind of outdated,or is it what they show teach u guys in sch? |
Re: Fortran by olufrost(m): 6:59pm On Oct 01, 2006 |
its fortran 77 and yes its what we are taught in schl, i share ur view that it is outdated but CGPA is the issue in the case. what i need to know is that when i type and save the code on the blue screen, what next. |
Re: Fortran by ishmael(m): 12:18pm On Oct 03, 2006 |
esto: Not true. It's not outdated; although the version matters. (FORTRAN 77 is old sha compared to FORTRAN 90 and FORTRAN 2003). It actually depends on what you want to do with it. There is Object-Oriented FORTRAN programming that is as effective and efficient as VB, C++ and other OO programming languages. |

olufrost: You compile and run dats all. |
Re: Fortran by waa1972(m): 8:37am On Oct 05, 2006 |
FORTRAN IS a must if: 1. You want to do something in Numerical Methods. 2. Engineering Simulation. 3. Engineer/Scientist. None of the new generation progs will be able to beat FORTRAN in these aspects. You can also write Object-Oriented codes using FORTRAN but the OO methods aere less automated in FORTRAN. |
Re: Fortran by olufrost(m): 10:58am On Oct 05, 2006 |
thanks for the replies, how do i compile the program |
Re: Fortran by ishmael(m): 11:56am On Oct 05, 2006 |
olufrost: The compiling command depends on the type of compiler u are using. U can find out from the vendor you bought the compiler from; he may be able to tell you, except if he's not a genuine software vendor. Cheers!! |

If you are REALLY interested in FORTRAN, then: 1. Get a good compiler: I use the free GNU on Linux which is f77; there should be visual compilers on Windows as well, but I cant help you with that. 2. If you want to use f77 under linux here is the way to compile: f77 -c your_file.for OR f77 -c your_file.f Thats it. The rest of the instruction depends on WHAT exactly you want to do. |
Re: Fortran by ishmael(m): 11:38am On Oct 06, 2006 |
Waa1972, why are u still using FORTRAN 77?? Try using[b] FORTRAN 90 [/b] or FORTRAN 95 and see the difference. |
Re: Fortran by waa1972(m): 12:06pm On Oct 06, 2006 |
ishmael: The job is to compile FORTRAN (on Linux). f77 compiles and links fine. I dont need more. Besides, I dont think f90/95 are free under GNU yet. Anyway, we both end up at the same point. The most important thing is to concentrate on how to write good numerical methods/simulation codes in FORTRAN! |
Re: Fortran by ishmael(m): 4:51pm On Oct 06, 2006 |
Yeah man, that's it o. I love writing my numerical analysis and statistical analysis programs using FORTRAN. Infact the FORTRAN i did in school then was FORTRAN 77, and even as i'm talking now i still write some of my FORTRAN codes using FORTRAN 77; but i just feel guys should move ahead to OO FORTRAN using FORTRAN 2003. Have you laid your hands on FORTRAN 2003 compiler? Guys need it o; how you see am?? |
