-Fortran is one of the oldest computer languages. It was developed in the 1950s
-by IBM for numeric calculations (Fortran is an abbreviation of "Formula
-Translation"). Despite its age, it is still used for high-performance computing
-such as weather prediction. However, the language has changed considerably over
-the years, although mostly maintaining backwards compatibility; well known
-versions are FORTRAN 77, Fortran 90, Fortran 95, Fortran 2003, Fortran 2008 and
-Fortran 2015.
-
-This overview will discuss the features of Fortran 95 since it is the most
-widely implemented of the more recent specifications and the later versions are
-largely similar (by comparison FORTRAN 77 is a very different language).
-
-```fortran
-
-! This is a comment.
-
-
-program example !declare a program called example.
-
- ! Code can only exist inside programs, functions, subroutines or modules.
- ! Using indentation is not required but it is recommended.
-
-
- ! Declaring Variables
- ! ===================
-
- ! All declarations must come before statements and expressions.
-
- implicit none !prevents dynamic declaration of variables (recommended!)
- ! Implicit none must be redeclared in every function/program/module...
-
- ! IMPORTANT - Fortran is case insensitive.
- real z
- REAL Z2
-
- real :: v,x ! WARNING: default initial values are compiler dependent!
- real :: a = 3, b=2E12, c = 0.01
- integer :: i, j, k=1, m
- real, parameter :: PI = 3.1415926535897931 !declare a constant.
- logical :: y = .TRUE. , n = .FALSE. !boolean type.
- complex :: w = (0,1) !sqrt(-1)
- character (len=3) :: month !string of 3 characters.
-
- real :: array(6) !declare an array of 6 reals.
- real, dimension(4) :: arrayb !another way to declare an array.
- integer :: arrayc(-10:10) !an array with a custom index.
- real :: array2d(3,2) !multidimensional array.
-
- ! The '::' separators are not always necessary but are recommended.
-
- ! many other variable attributes also exist:
- real, pointer :: p !declare a pointer.
-
- integer, parameter :: LP = selected_real_kind(20)
- real (kind = LP) :: d !long precision variable.
-
- ! WARNING: initialising variables during declaration causes problems
- ! in functions since this automatically implies the 'save' attribute
- ! whereby values are saved between function calls. In general, separate
- ! declaration and initialisation code except for constants!
-
-
- ! Strings
- ! =======
-
- character :: a_char = 'i'
- character (len = 6) :: a_str = "qwerty"
- character (len = 30) :: str_b
- character (len = *), parameter :: a_long_str = "This is a long string."
- !can have automatic counting of length using (len=*) but only for constants.
-
- str_b = a_str // " keyboard" !concatenate strings using // operator.

-
- ! Assignment & Arithmetic
- ! =======================
-
- Z = 1 !assign to variable z declared above (case insensitive).
- j = 10 + 2 - 3
- a = 11.54 / (2.3 * 3.1)
- b = 2**3 !exponentiation
-
-
- ! Control Flow Statements & Operators
- ! ===================================
-
- ! Single-line if statement
- if (z == a) b = 4 !condition always need surrounding parentheses.
-
- if (z /= a) then !z not equal to a
- ! Other symbolic comparisons are < > <= >= == /=
- b = 4
- else if (z .GT. a) then !z greater than a
- ! Text equivalents to symbol operators are .LT. .GT. .LE. .GE. .EQ. .NE.
- b = 6
- else if (z < a) then !'then' must be on this line.
- b = 5 !execution block must be on a new line.
- else
- b = 10
- end if !end statement needs the 'if' (or can use 'endif').
-
-
- if (.NOT. (x < c .AND. v >= a .OR. z == z)) then !boolean operators.
- inner: if (.TRUE.) then !can name if-construct.
- b = 1
- endif inner !then must name endif statement.

- ! Arrays
- ! ======
- array = (/1,2,3,4,5,6/)
- array = [1,2,3,4,5,6] !using Fortran 2003 notation.
- arrayb = [10.2,3e3,0.41,4e-5]
- array2d = reshape([1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0,6.0], [3,2])
-
- ! Fortran array indexing starts from 1.
- ! (by default but can be defined differently for specific arrays).
- v = array(1) !take first element of array.
- v = array2d(2,2)
-
- print *, array(3:5) !print all elements from 3rd to 5th (inclusive).
- print *, array2d(1,:) !print first column of 2d array.
-
- array = array*3 + 2 !can apply mathematical expressions to arrays.
- array = array*array !array operations occur element-wise.
- !array = array*array2d !these arrays would not be compatible.
-
- ! There are many built-in functions that operate on arrays.
- c = dot_product(array,array) !this is the dot product.
- ! Use matmul() for matrix maths.
- c = sum(array)
- c = maxval(array)
- print *, minloc(array)
- c = size(array)
- print *, shape(array)
- m = count(array > 0)
-
- ! Loop over an array (could have used Product() function normally).
- v = 1
- do i = 1, size(array)
- v = v*array(i)
- end do

- ! Input/Output
- ! ============
-
- print *, b !print the variable 'b' to the command line
-
- ! We can format our printed output.
- print "(I6)", 320 !prints ' 320'
- print "(I6.4)", 3 !prints ' 0003'
- print "(F6.3)", 4.32 !prints ' 4.320'
-
- ! The letter indicates the expected type and the number afterwards gives
- ! the number of characters to use for printing the value.
- ! Letters can be I (integer), F (real), E (engineering format),
- ! L (logical), A (characters) ...
- print "(I3)", 3200 !print '***' since the number doesn't fit.
-
- ! we can have multiple format specifications.
- print "(I5,F6.2,E6.2)", 120, 43.41, 43.41
- print "(3I5)", 10, 20, 30 !3 repeats of integers (field width = 5).
- print "(2(I5,F6.2))", 120, 43.42, 340, 65.3 !repeated grouping of formats.
-
- ! We can also read input from the terminal.
- read *, v
- read "(2F6.2)", v, x !read two numbers
-
- ! To read a file.
- open(unit=11, file="records.txt", status="old")
- ! The file is referred to by a 'unit number', an integer that you pick in
- ! the range 9:99. Status can be one of {'old','replace','new'}.
- read(unit=11, fmt="(3F10.2)") a, b, c
- close(11)
-
- ! To write a file.
- open(unit=12, file="records.txt", status="replace")
- write(12, "(F10.2,F10.2,F10.2)") c, b, a
- close(12)
-
- ! There are more features available than discussed here and alternative
- ! variants due to backwards compatibility with older Fortran versions.
-
-
- ! Built-in Functions
- ! ==================
-
- ! Fortran has around 200 functions/subroutines intrinsic to the language.
- ! Examples -
- call cpu_time(v) !sets 'v' to a time in seconds.
- k = ior(i,j) !bitwise OR of 2 integers.
- v = log10(x) !log base 10.
- i = floor(b) !returns the closest integer less than or equal to x.
- v = aimag(w) !imaginary part of a complex number.
-
-
- ! Functions & Subroutines
- ! =======================
-
- ! A subroutine runs some code on some input values and can cause
- ! side-effects or modify the input values.
-
- call routine(a,c,v) !subroutine call.
-
- ! A function takes a list of input parameters and returns a single value.
- ! However the input parameters may still be modified and side effects
- ! executed.
-
- m = func(3,2,k) !function call.
-
- ! Function calls can also be evoked within expressions.
- Print *, func2(3,2,k)
-
- ! A pure function is a function that doesn't modify its input parameters
- ! or cause any side-effects.
- m = func3(3,2,k)
-
-
-contains ! Zone for defining sub-programs internal to the program.
-
- ! Fortran has a couple of slightly different ways to define functions.
-
- integer function func(a,b,c) !a function returning an integer value.
- implicit none !best to use implicit none in function definitions too.
- integer :: a,b,c !type of input parameters defined inside the function.
- if (a >= 2) then
- func = a + b + c !the return variable defaults to the function name.
- return !can return the current value from the function at any time.
- endif
- func = a + c
- ! Don't need a return statement at the end of a function.
- end function func
-
-
- function func2(a,b,c) result(f) !return variable declared to be 'f'.
- implicit none
- integer, intent(in) :: a,b !can declare and enforce that variables
- !are not modified by the function.
- integer, intent(inout) :: c
- integer :: f !function return type declared inside the function.
- integer :: cnt = 0 !GOTCHA - initialisation implies variable is
- !saved between function calls.
- f = a + b - c
- c = 4 !altering the value of an input variable.
- cnt = cnt + 1 !count number of function calls.
- end function func2
-
-
- pure function func3(a,b,c) !a pure function can have no side-effects.
- implicit none
- integer, intent(in) :: a,b,c
- integer :: func3
- func3 = a*b*c
- end function func3
-
-
- subroutine routine(d,e,f)
- implicit none
- real, intent(inout) :: f
- real, intent(in) :: d,e
- f = 2*d + 3*e + f
- end subroutine routine
-
-
-end program example ! End of Program Definition -----------------------
-
-
-! Functions and Subroutines declared externally to the program listing need
-! to be declared to the program using an Interface declaration (even if they
-! are in the same source file!) (see below). It is easier to define them within
-! the 'contains' section of a module or program.
-
-elemental real function func4(a) result(res)
-! An elemental function is a Pure function that takes a scalar input variable
-! but can also be used on an array where it will be separately applied to all
-! of the elements of an array and return a new array.
- real, intent(in) :: a
- res = a**2 + 1.0
-end function func4
-
-
-! Modules
-! =======
-
-! A module is a useful way to collect related declarations, functions and
-! subroutines together for reusability.
-
-module fruit
- real :: apple
- real :: pear
- real :: orange
-end module fruit
-
-
-module fruity
- ! Declarations must be in the order: modules, interfaces, variables.
- ! (can declare modules and interfaces in programs too).
-
- use fruit, only: apple, pear ! use apple and pear from fruit module.
- implicit none !comes after module imports.
-
- private !make things private to the module (default is public).
- ! Declare some variables/functions explicitly public.
- public :: apple,mycar,create_mycar
- ! Declare some variables/functions private to the module (redundant here).
- private :: func4
-
- ! Interfaces
- ! ==========
- ! Explicitly declare an external function/procedure within the module
- ! (better in general to put functions/procedures in the 'contains' section).
- interface
- elemental real function func4(a) result(res)
- real, intent(in) :: a
- end function func4
- end interface
-
- ! Overloaded functions can be defined using named interfaces.
- interface myabs
- ! Can use 'module procedure' keyword to include functions already
- ! defined within the module.
- module procedure real_abs, complex_abs
- end interface
-
- ! Derived Data Types
- ! ==================
- ! Can create custom structured data collections.
- type car
- character (len=100) :: model
- real :: weight !(kg)
- real :: dimensions(3) !i.e. length-width-height (metres).
- character :: colour
- end type car
-
- type(car) :: mycar !declare a variable of your custom type.
- ! See create_mycar() routine for usage.
-
- ! Note: There are no executable statements in modules.
-
-contains
-
- subroutine create_mycar(mycar)
- ! Demonstrates usage of a derived data type.
- implicit none
- type(car),intent(out) :: mycar
-
- ! Access type elements using '%' operator.
- mycar%model = "Ford Prefect"
- mycar%colour = 'r'
- mycar%weight = 1400
- mycar%dimensions(1) = 5.0 !default indexing starts from 1!
- mycar%dimensions(2) = 3.0
- mycar%dimensions(3) = 1.5
-
- end subroutine
-
- real function real_abs(x)
- real :: x
- if (x<0) then
- real_abs = -x
- else
- real_abs = x
- end if
- end function real_abs
-
- real function complex_abs(z)
- complex :: z
- ! long lines can be continued using the continuation character '&'
- complex_abs = sqrt(real(z)**2 + &
- aimag(z)**2)
- end function complex_abs
-
-
-end module fruity
