OBJECTIVES
AE6382
FORTRAN History
One of the oldest computer languages created by John Backus and released in 1957 designed for scientific and engineering computations
Version history FORTRAN 1957 FORTRAN II FORTRAN IV FORTRAN 66 (released as ANSI standard in 1966) FORTRAN 77 (ANSI standard in 1977) FORTRAN 90 (ANSI standard in 1990) FORTRAN 95 (ANSI standard version) FORTRAN 2003 (ANSI standard version)
Many different “dialects” produced by computer vendors (Digital VAX Fortran, now Intel Fortran)
Large majority of existing engineering software is coded in FORTRAN (various versions)
AE6382
Statement Format
FORTRAN before 90 requires a fixed format
Based on the punch card in use when Fortran was created
PROGRAM MAIN
C COMMENTS ARE ALLOWED IF A “C” IS PLACED IN COLUMN #1
DIMENSION X(10)
READ(5,*) (X(I),I=1,10)
WRITE(6,1000) X
1000 FORMAT(1X,’THIS IS A VERY LONG LINE OF TEXT TO SHOW HOW TO CONTINUE ’
* ‘THE STATEMENT TO A SECOND LINE’,/,10F12.4)
1-5Label
6 7-72 Statements 73-80OptionalLine #s
Any character: continuation line
AE6382
Statement Format
FORTRAN fixed format “C” in column 1 indicates that line is a comment columns 1-5 are reserved for statement labels
– statement labels are not required unless the statement is the target of a goto
– labels are numeric values only column 6 is the continuation flag
– any character in column 6, other than space or “0”, indicates that this line is a continuation of the previous line
– there is usually a limit of 19 on the number of continuations columns 7-72 are contain Fortran statements columns 73-80 is for sequence information
– only of any use when using punch cards
AE6382
Statement Format

Building a FORTRAN Program
FORTRAN is a complied language (like C) so the source code (what you write) must be converted into machine code before it can be executed (e.g. Make command)

AE6382
Structure of a Fortran Program
Fortran is a compiled language all memory is allocated statically at compile time
– there is no standard method for allocating additional memory in a Fortran program before Fortran 90
– memory is allocated in a predictable manner, a fact which can be used by the programmer to his advantage or distress
there is no official recursion before Fortran 90– some vendor implementations had recursive capabilities– static memory allocation is at odds with the use of a stack which is
needed for recursion Fortran does not guarantee value of un-initialized memory
AE6382
Structure of a Fortran Program
Fortran consists of program units program function subroutine block data
The program unit contains the main code and the point where execution starts in Fortran 77 a program begins with the program statement earlier versions of Fortran did not have a program statement
unless a vendor dialect provided one the end statement terminates the program unit
AE6382
Fortran Program
The program unit contains the main code and the point where execution starts in Fortran 77 a program begins with the program statement earlier versions of Fortran did not have a program statement
unless a vendor dialect provided one the end statement terminates the program unit
– marks end of statements that belong to program– during execution it will cause the program to halt
a program unit may contain internal sub-programs– internal functions– internal subroutines
AE6382
Fortran Subroutine
The subroutine unit contains Fortran code that can be called from other Fortran code
a subroutine begins with a subroutine statement contains a name for the subroutine a list of formal arguments
subroutines may be internal or external an internal subroutine is included in the code of program unit
and is only callable by the program an external subroutine is created outside of a program unit and
is callable from everywhere
AE6382
Fortran Subroutine
SUBROUTINE MULT(A,B,C)
C = A * B
RETURN
END
CALL MULT(5.0,X,VALUE)
AE6382
Fortran Function
The function unit contains Fortran code that can be called from other Fortran code
It differs from a subroutine in that it returns a value a subroutine begins with a function statement
contains a name for the function a list of formal arguments specifies a return type
functions may be internal or external an internal function is included in the code of program unit and is
only callable by the program an external function is created outside of a program unit and is
callable from everywhere
AE6382
Fortran Function
REAL FUNCTION MULT(A,B)
MULT = A * B
RETURN
END
VALUE = MULT(5.0,X)
AE6382
Fortran Block Data
The Block Data program unit does not contain any executable code
Used to initialize memory in common blocks It is not “called” by any code in the program, it contains
instructions for the initializing memory when the program is loaded into memory for running
AE6382
Fortran Block Data
BLOCK DATA
COMMON/MEM/A,B
DATA A,B/10.0,-3.14/
END
AE6382
Fortran Program Organization
Program units have a statement order header (program, subroutine, function, block data) declarations (variables and types) data initialization (data statements) executable statements (and format statements) internal subprogram units end statement
AE6382
Fortran Variable
Variables represent the memory of the program Fortran variables
Fortran IV numbers and letters, at least 6 characters Fortran 77 numbers and letters and “_”, at least 16 characters must start with a letter
Up through 77, spaces in a Fortran program are ignored IVALUE and I VAL UE are the same using strange spacing, while acceptable, is bad practice
Fortran variables are typed Fortran is case insensitive
ivar is the same as IVAR or IvAr
AE6382
Fortran Variable Typing
All Fortran variables are typed INTEGER REAL DOUBLE PRECISION COMPLEX LOGICAL CHARACTER (77+)
AE6382
Fortran Variable Typing
A feature of Fortran – implicit typing when a variable appears that has not been declared previously it
is created (at compile time) it is assigned a type based on the first character of the name
– A-H,O-Z is type REAL– I-N is type INTEGER
a typo can cause the creation of a new variable – not an error
Starting with 77 the implicit statement was added allowed changing the first letter assignments most 77 compilers include the implicit none statement that
requires that all variables be explicitly typed – prevents the typo problem
It is good practice to use implicit none
AE6382
Fortran Variable Typing
Change implicit typing so that A becomes an INTEGER type
Disable implicit typing altogether
PROGRAM TEST
IMPLICIT INTEGER (A)
PROGRAM TEST
IMPLICIT NONE
AE6382
Fortran Variable Typing
In Fortran any variable can be explicitly typed In the declarations section enter a type identifier followed
by a list of variable names
The first letter implicit typing is over-ridden when explicit typing is used
A common Fortran error when using implicit typing is to use a variable such as INITIAL_VALUE as if it contained a real (floating point) value
INTEGER A,VALUE,ISTART
REAL INITIAL_VALUE
AE6382
Fortran Variable Typing
The types presented earlier are the default types The range of both INTEGER and REAL are dependent
on the computer architecture one computer may have a 32 bit integer while another may use
16 bit as its default
An attempt to deal with this lead to types such as REAL*8, INTEGER*4 the number after the * indicates the number of bytes used most computers have 8 bit bytes not every architecture will have every combination not a practical problem in an Intel world but knowledge of the architecture of the system where a legacy
Fortran program was developed is needed to convert to Intel
AE6382
Fortran Variable Typing
Fortran 90+ uses a different method to deal with number ranges that is architecture independent
AE6382
Fortran Variable Typing
The CHARACTER type was introduced in 77 The * notation is used to specify the maximum number
of characters the variable can hold
Before 77 the Hollerith notation was used common in older Fortran code, even in some 77 code normally placed characters into INTEGER arrays required knowledge of byte length of the variable portability problem
CHARACTER*20 TITLE
INTEGER*4 TITLE(5)
DATA TITLE/4Habcd,4Hefgh,…/
AE6382
Fortran Arrays
The array is the only data structure supported in 77 and before
An array is a linear allocation of memory An array can contain up to 7 dimensions Arrays are indexed starting a 1
INTEGER A
DIMENSION A(10
INTEGER B
DIMENSION B(10,10)
REAL C(10,10,10)
AE6382
Fortran Arrays
Fortran 77 introduced the ability to specify a lower bound for an array dimension
During execution of a Fortran program there is normally no check made on array index bounds there may be a compiler option to enable these checks some bound checking code only checks the equivalent linear
index not each individual index
INTEGER B
DIMENSION B(0:10,0:10)

AE6382
Fortran Variables and Subroutines
All arguments to a Fortran subroutine are passed by reference the subroutine receives the address of the variable any changes made by the subroutine are seen by the caller most other languages pass by value (the subroutine receives a
copy) passing an array as an argument with just the name will pass
the address of the first element
On entry to a subroutine its local variables are not guaranteed to have any known value the save statement introduced in 77 will ensure that a variable
will have on entry the value that it had on its last exit from the subroutine
AE6382
Fortran Common Blocks
Normally variables in a Fortran program are local to the unit in which they are declared variables may be made known to subroutines using the
arguments variables may be created in a common block
Common blocks are shared memory each program unit that declares the common block has access
to it
AE6382
Fortran Common Blocks
Two types of common blank common – unnamed named common
Most systems do not allow blank common to be initialized
Blank common can sometimes be used to allocate unused memory (depends on OS)
COMMON A,B(10),C
COMMON/SET1/A,B(50,5),C
AE6382
Fortran Common Blocks
Problems each program unit that declares access to a common block
defines it’s own view– type of each variable in the block– size of each array in the block
when views between units differ there can be problems – some linkers will warn of size differences
PROGRAM TEST
COMMON/A/A,B(10),C
END
SUBROUTINE DOIT
COMMON/A/I,J(5),K(20)
END
AE6382
Fortran Equivalence
The EQUIVALENCE statement is used to alias a memory location
Usually will include a type change Also used to provide aliases for elements of an array
Takes advantage of no index checking
INTEGER A(100)
EQUIVALENCE (INCREMENT,A(4))
COMMON A(10000)
INTEGER IA(1)
EQUIVALENCE (IA(1),A(1))
AE6382
Fortran Parameter
The PARAMETER statement is used to define constants
A parameter can be used wherever a variable is expected – but cannot be overwritten
Can be used in declarations
PARAMETER (MAX=20)
PARAMETER (MAX=1000)
INTEGER A(MAX)
AE6382
Fortran Literals
Literals are constants that appear in a Fortran program Number
integers - 1, -34 real - 1.0, 4.3E10, 5.1D-5 complex – (5.2,.8)
Other logical - .true., .false. character – ‘title line’
Obsolete but still lurking in code Hollerith – 4Habcd, 8Habcdef
AE6382
Fortran Literals
INTEGER A
A = 34
REAL A(20)
A(1) = 31.4159E-1
ITERM = -10.3
COMPLEX Z
Z = (10,-10.5)
REAL_PART = REAL(Z)
AIMAG_PART = AIMAG(Z)
Z = CMPLX(REAL_PART * 2,AIMAG_PART)
AE6382
Fortran Expressions
Expressions are the heart of Fortran (Formula Translator)
There are two types of expressions numeric
– 2 * 3.14159 * RADIUS**2– SIN(PI)
logical– IBOOL = .TRUE.– I .EQ. 10 .AND. ISTOP
• note: LOGICAL ISTOP
AE6382
Fortran Numerical Operators
The numerical operators ** (exponentiation) * / unary + - binary + -
Parentheses are used to alter the order of evaluation For binary operators, if the types do not match an implicit
conversion is performed to the most general type– integer -> real -> double precision– anything -> complex
AE6382
Fortran Numerical Operators
WARNING: division of an integer by an integer will produce a truncated result
– 5 / 2 => 2 not 2.5– FLOAT(5)/2 => 2.5
The type-conversion intrinsic functions can be used to get the desired results
AE6382
Intrinsic Functions
Fortran includes an extensive set of built-in functions Fortran 66 has different names for these functions
depending on the return type and argument type Fortran 77 introduced generic names for intrinsic
functions
AE6382
Type Conversion
The intrinsic functions have two forms– generic available only in 77 and above– argument specific
Conversion to integer– INT(any) the generic version– INT(real)– IFIX(real)– IDINT(double)
Conversion to real– REAL(any) the generic version– FLOAT(integer)– REAL(integer)– SNGL(double)
AE6382
Type Conversion
Conversion to double– DBLE(any) the generic version
Conversion to complex– COMPLX(any) the generic version
Character to integer (77+ only)– ICHAR(character)
Integer to character (77+ only)– CHAR(integer)
AE6382
Truncation
To integer part, return as real or double– AINT(real or double) the generic version– AINT(real)– DINT(double)
To nearest integer, return as real or double– ANINT(real or double) the generic version– ANINT(real)– DNINT(double)
To nearest integer, return as integer– NINT(real or double) the generic version– NINT(real)– IDNINT(double)
AE6382
Math Functions
sine and cosine (radians)– SIN(real or double) the generic version– SIN(real)– DSIN(double)– CSIN(complex)
exponential– EXP(real or double) the generic version– EXP(real)– DEXP(double)– CEXP(complex)
natural logarithm– LOG(real or double) the generic version– ALOG(real)– DLOG(double)– CLOG(complex)
AE6382
Math Functions
tangent (radians)– TAN(real or double) the generic version– TAN(real)– DSIN(double)
square root– SQRT(real or double) the generic version– SQRT(real)– DSQRT(double)– CSQRT(complex)
hyperbolic sine– SINH(real or double) the generic version– SINH(real)– DSINH(double)
AE6382
Math Functions
there are also similar functions for arcsine, arccosine, arctangent (ASIN, ACOS, ATAN) hyperbolic sine, cosine, tangent (SINH, COSH, TANH) complex conjugate (CONJ) base10 logarithms (LOG10)
AE6382
Fortran Statements
The executable statements in Fortran assignment (=) branching (GOTO) comparison (IF) looping (DO) subroutine invocation (CALL)
AE6382
Fortran Assignment
The simple assignment statement stores the result of computations into a variable
DIMENSION A(10,10)
…
A(I,10) = 2.0 * PI * R**2
INTEGER A
A = A + 1
AE6382
Fortran Branching
Fortran includes a GOTO statement In modern languages this is considered very bad
its use was essential in Fortran 66 its predecessors Fortran 77 introduced control statements that lessened the need
for the GOTO
IF (I .EQ. 0) GO TO 100
A = 4.0 * AINIT
GOTO 200
100 B = 52.0
…
200 C = B * A
AE6382
Fortran Branching
The Fortran GOTO always branched to a Fortran statement that contained a label in columns 1-5
The labels varied from 1 to 99999 Variations of the go to statement are
assigned goto computed goto
Spaces are ignored in Fortran code before 90 GOTO and GO TO are equivalent
Excessive use of the goto (required in 66 and before) leads to difficult to understand code
AE6382
Fortran Branching
Assigned goto ASSIGN 100 TO TARGET
…
GOTO TARGET
…
100 CONTINUE
AE6382
Fortran Branching
Computed goto Operates much like a case or switch statement in other
languages GOTO (100,200,300,400),IGO
…
100 CONTINUE
…
GOTO 500
200 CONTINUE
…
GOTO 500
…
500 CONTINUE
AE6382
Fortran Continue
The CONTINUE statement is a do-nothing statement and is frequently used as a marker for labels
It is used most frequently with DO loops
AE6382
Fortran IF
The IF statement is used to perform logical decisions The oldest form is the 3-way if (also called arithmetic if) The logical if appeared in Fortran IV/66 The more modern if-then-else appeared in Fortran 77
AE6382
Fortran 3-way If
The 3-way if statement tested a numerical value against zero
It branched to one of three labels depending on the result IF (RADIUS) 10,20,30
10 CONTINUE
…
GOTO 100
20 CONTINUE
…
GOTO 100
30 CONTINUE
…
GOTO 100
100 CONTINUE
IF (ABS(RADIUS-EPS)) 10,10,20
10 CONTINUE
…
GOTO 100
20 CONTINUE
…
GOTO 100
100 CONTINUE
AE6382
Fortran Logical If
The logical if statement performed a test using the logical operators .EQ., .NE., .LT., .LE., .GT., .GE. .AND., .OR., .NOT.
If result is true then a single statement is executed IF (ISTART .EQ. 50) GOTO 100
…
100 CONTINUE
IF (IMODE .EQ. 2) A = SQRT(CVALUE)
…
LOGICAL QUICK
QUICK = .TRUE.
IF (QUICK) STEP=0.5
IF (.NOT. QUICK) STEP = 0.01
AE6382
Fortran Logical If
LOGICAL QUICK
QUICK = .TRUE.
IF (QUICK) STEP=0.5
IF (.NOT. QUICK) STEP = 0.01
…
IF (QUICK .AND. (ABS(XVALUE – EPS) .LT. 0.005)) GOTO 1000
AE6382
Fortran Modern If
Fortran 77 introduced the modern if statement (so-called structured programming)
The test operated the same as the logical if Greatly reduced the need for using the goto statement Includes
then clause else clause else if clause
AE6382
Fortran Modern If
This form eliminates the goto statements from the previous example
LOGICAL QUICK
QUICK = .TRUE.
IF (QUICK) THEN
STEP=0.5
ELSE
STEP = 0.01
ENDIF
…
IF (QUICK .AND. (ABS(XVALUE – EPS) .LT. 0.005)) THEN
…
END IF
AE6382
Fortran Modern If
This form reduces the need for the computed goto
IF (MODE .EQ. 0) THEN
…
ELSE IF (MODE .EQ. 1) THEN
…
ELSEIF (MODE .EQ. 2) THEN
…
ELSE
…
END IF
AE6382
Fortran Looping
The DO statement is the mechanism for looping in Fortran
The do loop is the only “official” looping mechanism in Fortran through 77
Here I is the control variable it is normally an integer but can be real 1 is the start value 10 is the end value 2 is the increment value everything to the 100 label is part of the loop
DO 100 I=1,10,2
…
100 CONTINUE
AE6382
Fortran Looping
The labeled statement can be any statement not just continue
Loop may be nested nested loops can share the same label – very bad form
DO 100 I=1,10,2
DO 100 J=1,5,1
…
100 A(I,J) = VALUE
DO 200 I=1,10,2
DO 100 J=1,5,1
…
A(I,J) = VALUE
100 CONTINUE
200 CONTINUE
AE6382
Fortran Looping
Before Fortran 77 a do loop would always execute at least once – despite the parameters
The increment may be negative, if not specified it is assumed to be 1
DO 100 I=10,1,2
…
100 CONTINUE
AE6382
Fortran Looping
WARNING: Through Fortran 77 there is an extended do loop can jump out of loop to code outside the loop that code can jump back into the loop valid as long as code does not modify the control variable no need to ever use it – use a subroutine instead
DO 100 I=1,100
…
GOTO 1000
…
99 CONTINUE
…
100 CONTINUE
…
1000 CONTINUE
…
GOTO 99
DO 100 I=1,100
…
CALL XYZ
…
100 CONTINUE
…
AE6382
Fortran Looping
Fortran 77 introduced a form of the do loop that does not require labels
The indented spacing shown is not required
DO I=1,100
…
ENDDO
DO I=1,100
DO J=1,50
A(I,J) = I*J
END DO
ENDDO
AE6382
Fortran Looping
A variant of Fortran 77 known as MIL-STD 1753 introduced a new loop construct – the while loop
While not part of the Fortran standard it is available in almost all Fortran 77 compilers
This form is an infinite loop and would require an additional test in the loop to exit
DO WHILE (I .LT. 1000)
…
ENDDO
DO WHILE (.TRUE.)
…
END DO
AE6382
Fortran Looping
Finally, there is a form of the do loop called the implied do loop
It is used on READ, WRITE, and DATA statements
READ(5,8000) (A(I),I=1,10)
WRITE(6,8000) ((A(I,J),I=1,10),J=1,10)
DATA ((IX(I,J),I=1,10),J=1,10)/1,2,3…/
AE6382
Fortran Subroutine Invocation
There are two methods by which a sub program can be called in Fortran use the CALL statement for subroutines as part of a numerical expression for a function
CALL XX(A,B,C)
…
SUBROUTINE XX(X,Y,Z)
…
END
VALUE = 4.3 * ROOT(X)
…
REAL FUNCTION ROOT(A)
…
END
AE6382
Fortran Subroutine Invocation
The variables on the invocation are the actual arguments The variables in the declaration are the formal
arguments More about sub programs will be covered later
AE6382
Miscellaneous Statements
There are several other Fortran statements RETURN will cause a sub program to return to the caller at that
point – the END statement contains an implied RETURN a number on a RETURN statement indicates that an alternate
return be taken STOP will cause a program to terminate immediately – a
number may be included to indicate where the stop occurred, STOP 2
PAUSE will cause the program to stop with a short message – the message is the number on the statement, PAUSE 5
AE6382
Fortran I/O Statements
Fortran contains an extensive input/output capability The relevant statements are
READ WRITE OPEN CLOSE INQUIRE REWIND BACKSPACE ENDFILE FORMAT
Fortran I/O is based on the concept of a unit number 5 is generally input – stdin on Unix 6 is usually output – stdout on Unix other unit numbers can be created as needed
AE6382
Fortran I/O Statements
Management of unit numbers was not specified in any system independent way before Fortran 77 older programs will just use a unit without any declaration – the
linkage to a file was performed by the OS the following usage is common
this is non-standard and can only be used as a guide when converting Fortran program to a modern OS (Linux, Unix, or Windows)
PROGRAM MAIN(INPUT,OUTPUT,TAPE5=INPUT,TAPE6=OUTPUT)
AE6382
Fortran I/O Statements
There are two types of I/O in Fortran formatted unformatted or binary
There are two modes of operation sequential random
Formatted I/O uses a format statement to prepare the data for output or interpret for input
Unformatted I/O does not use a format statement the form of the data is generally system dependent usually faster and is generally used to store intermediate results
AE6382
Fortran I/O Statements
Unformatted I/O does not use a format statement
The reverse operation is
WRITE(9) A,B,C,D,E
READ(9) A,B,C,D,E
AE6382
Fortran I/O Statements
The FORMAT statement is the heart of the Fortran formatted I/O system
The format statement instructs the computer on the details of both input and output size of the field to use for the value number of decimal places
The format is identified by a statement label
A format can be used any number of times The label number must not conflict with goto labels
WRITE(6,9000) A,B,C,D,E
9000 FORMAT(1X,4F8.5,2x,E14.6,//)
AE6382
Fortran I/O Statements
The Fortran I/O statements have a common form with a common set of parameters
The UNIT and FMT keywords can be omitted, in which case the unit and format are the first two parameters
The other parameters are all optional The list is the list of variables or expressions to be
converted to or from Fortran IV/66 only uses a unit number and a format
label, some implementations allow END
stmt(UNIT=n,FMT=label,IOSTAT=int-variable,ERR=label,END=label) list
stmt(n,label,IOSTAT=int-variable,ERR=label,END=label) list
stmt(n,label) list
AE6382
Fortran I/O Statements
The UNIT keyword is used to specify the device on which to perform the I/O the keyword may be omitted – the unit must be the first
parameter
The FMT keyword is used to specify a format label that will be used to control the I/O the keyword may be omitted – the format label must be the
second parameter an unformatted I/O operation does not use a format a character string may be used instead (77 only)
The NML keyword is used to specify a namelist group NML and FMT are mutually exclusive
AE6382
Fortran I/O Statements
The IOSTAT keyword is used to specify an integer variable that will, upon completion, contain a value that indicates how the I/O completed = 0 – there was no error or EOF condition, OK > 0 – the value is the error that occurred, this is implementation
dependent < 0 – and EOF, end of file, was encountered
The ERR keyword is used to specify a statement label that will be jumped to if an error occurs of specified, IOSTAT will contain the error code
The END keyword is used to specify a statement label that will be jumped to if an EOF condition exists
The END and ERR keywords are not required, the programmer can just test the value of IOSTAT
If IOSTAT or the END/ERR keywords are not used the Fortran library will invoke a standard error response – usually terminate the program
AE6382
Fortran I/O Statements
READ(5,9000) A,B,C,D,E
9000 FORMAT(1X,4F8.5,2x,E14.6,//)
READ(UNIT=5,FMT=9000,ERR=100) A,B,C,D,E
…
C come here on end of file
100 CONTINUE
…
9000 FORMAT(1X,4F8.5,2x,E14.6,//)
READ(5,’(1X,4F8.5,2x,E14.6,//)’,IOSTAT=IERR) A,B,C,D,E
IF (IERR) 100, 200, 300
C 100 – EOF, 200 – OK, 300 – an error
AE6382
Fortran I/O List
The I/O list is the list of variables or expressions that are to be processed by an I/O statement
Formatted I/O will perform conversions between internal binary format and external character format
Unformatted I/O does not conversion There are three forms of formatted I/O
the standard form list directed namelist directed
AE6382
Fortran Formatted I/O
The standard form requires the use of a format statement that is used to control the
conversion process normally used for bulk input or output
List directed, also called free format performs the conversion based on the type of the next variable
in the I/O list the format is specified as * or FMT=* frequently used for user typed input or debugging statements data separated by blanks or commas
Namelist directed conversion is controlled by variable type data is entered by name
AE6382
Fortran I/O Statements
READ(6,*) A,B,I
--- the input below
4.5 17 35
WRITE(6,*) ‘The value of a=‘,A

READ(5,NML=CONTROL)
--- the input below
&CONTROL

/
AE6382
Fortran I/O List
The I/O list part of the statement defines the variables to be used a READ statement must contain only variables a WRITE statement can contain constants and expressions in
addition to variables implied do-loops are permitted if an array variable is included with any indexing supplied then
an implied do-loop is implied– iterates through the entire array, left-most indices varying most
rapidly
REAL A(5,5)
READ(5,*) A
--- same as
READ(5,*) ((A(I,J),I=1,5),J=1,5)
AE6382
FORMAT Statement
Very powerful and versatile but can be quite tedious to master and may vary between dialects
Designed for use with line printers (not screens) Only infrequently used for input unless data format is
clearly defined and consistently applied General:
Syntax: label_no FORMAT(format-specifiers) Specifies format to be used in READ or WRITE statement that
references this label_no. format_specifiers are quite extensive and complex to master. each format specifier is separated by a comma.
AE6382
Format Specifiers
X format code Syntax: nX Specifies n spaces to be included at this point
I format code Syntax: Iw Specifies format for an integer using a field width of w spaces. If
integer value exceeds this space, output will consist of **** F format code
Syntax: Fw.d Specifies format for a REAL number using a field width of w
spaces and printing d digits to the right of the decimal point. A format code
Syntax: A or Aw Specifies format for a CHARACTER using a field width equal to
the number of characters, or using exactly w spaces (padded with blanks to the right if characters are less than w.
AE6382
Format Specifiers – cont’d
T format code Syntax: Tn Skip (tab) to column number n
Literal format code Syntax: ‘quoted_string’ Print the quoted string in the output (not used in input)
L format code Syntax: Lw Print value of logical variable as T or F, right-justified in field of
width, w.
AE6382
Format Specifiers – cont’d
BN format code Syntax: BN Ignore embedded blanks in a numeric field
BZ format code Syntax: BZ Treat embedded blanks in a numeric field as zero
AE6382
Format Specifiers – cont’d
The BN and BZ codes are Fortran 77 Before Fortran 77 blanks were treated as zero
Starting with Fortran 77 BN is the default Also set globally using OPEN(BLANK=NULL
8000 FORMAT(BN,I10)
|----+----o----+----o----+----o----+----| -1234
result: -1234
8000 FORMAT(BZ,I10)
|----+----o----+----o----+----o----+----| -1234
result: -1234000
AE6382
Format Specifiers – cont’d
E format code Syntax: Ew.d Print value of REAL variable using “scientific notation” with a
mantissa of d digits and a total field width of w. Ex:
E14.5 produces for the REAL value -1.23456789e+4:
You must leave room for sign, leading 0,decimal point, E, sign, and 2 digits for exponent (typically at least 7 spaces)
If specified width is too small, mantissa precision, d, will be reduced unless d<1 in which case *** will be output.
Using nP prefix will shift mantissa digit right by n and reduce exponent by –n. Ex; 1PE14.5 above yields:
|----+----o----+----o----+----o----+----| -0.12345E+05
|----+----o----+----o----+----o----+----| -1.23456E+04
AE6382
Format Specifiers – cont’d
G format code Syntax: Gw.d Print value of REAL variable using Fw.d format unless value is
too large or too small, in which case use Ew.d format. Ex:
G14.5 produces for the REAL value -1.23456789e+4:
When the number gets too big (or too small) for F, it is switched to an E format. Ex: the value -1.23456789e-18 becomes:
Note: the usefulness is more apparent when smaller field widths (w values) are specified for more compact output.
|----+----o----+----o----+----o----+----| -12345.67890
|----+----o----+----o----+----o----+----| -0.1234567E-19

Other FORMAT Features
Forward slash, / Used to cause a new line to be started Does not need to be separated by commas
Repeat factor Format specifiers may be repeated by prepending a number to
specify the repeat factor Repeat groups are enclosed in ( ) Ex: 4F12.5 – same as F12.5,F12.5,F12.5,F12.5
Carriage control Line printers interpret the first character of each line as a
carriage control command and it is not printed.– 1 means start new page, – _(blank) means begin a new line, – + means over print current line
Common use: 1000 FORMAT(1X,4F12.4)
AE6382
Other I/O Features
The Fortran 77 method for associating a file with a unit is the OPEN statement
There is an extensive list of keywords that control OPEN, common keywords are ACCESS – SEQUENTIAL | DIRECT ACTION – READ | WRITE | READWRITE BLANK – NULL | ZERO ERR – label FILE – filename FORM – FORMATTED | UNFORMATTED IOSTAT – integer variable STATUS – OLD | NEW | SCRATCH | REPLACE | UNKNOWN UNIT – the unit number
OPEN(UNIT=7,STATUS=‘OLD’,FORM=‘UNFORMATTED’,FILE=‘DATA1.TXT’)
AE6382
Other I/O Features
ACCESS SEQUENTIAL – process each record in order (default for formatted io) DIRECT – access the file randomly (access record by number REC=)
BLANK – determines how blanks are processed by a format NULL – blanks are ignored – all blank field is zero ZERO – blanks are treated as zeros al BZ and BN format specifiers can be used
STATUS OLD – file must currently exist NEW – file cannot currently exist, it is created SCRATCH – an unnamed file that is created then destroyed on close REPLACE – if file exists then delete and re-create before opening UNKNOWN – if file does not exist create it otherwise open it
AE6382
Other I/O Features
The CLOSE statement will close a unit Keywords include
UNIT – unit to close STATUS – KEEP | DELETE ERR – label IOSTAT – integer variable
CLOSE(7)
CLOSE(7,STATUS=‘DELETE’)
AE6382
Other I/O Features
The BACKSPACE statement will position a sequential record back to the beginning of the previous record re-read a line
The ENDFILE statement will write an end of file marker then position a sequential file after it most useful with magnetic tape files
The INQUIRE statement will retrieve information about a file or logical unit
The REWIND statement will position a sequential file back to the beginning of the file
AE6382
Other I/O Features
A variation of the READ and WRITE statements is the internal read and write (77 only) they are identical to normal read/write statements except that
the UNIT is a CHARACTER variable earlier implementations of Fortran had statements such as
ENCODE (internal write) and DECODE (internal read)
CHARACTER*80 IMAGE
READ(IMAGE,9000) A,B 9000 FORMAT(2F8.2)
CHARACTER*80 IMAGE
WRITE(IMAGE,’(3E12.5)’) A,B,C

Sub Programs
There are two types of Fortran sub-programs the subroutine the function
Functions return a value in an expression Subroutines are called as a stand-alone statement Sub-programs communicate with the caller using
arguments Common blocks are also used
reduce the flexibility of the routine faster, lower overhead
AE6382
Sub Programs
When a sub-program is declared, formal or dummy arguments are specified
Functions return a value
SUBROUTINE SUB1(A,B,I,J)
REAL J
DIMENSION A(5,5)
INTEGER B
REAL FUNCTION SINE(ANGLE)
…
SINE = …
RETURN
END
AE6382
Sub Programs
The formal arguments of a sub-program define the variables within that sub-program
When the sub-program is called, the variables used in the call are the actual arguments
The actual arguments are expected to match the formal arguments
Fortran before 90 does not check type For a function, the return value is placed in a variable of
the same name before return
AE6382
Sub Programs
Arguments in Fortran are passed by reference the address of the memory location is given to the sub-program changes made to the formal variable are reflected in the actual variable most other computer languages pass by value where a copy is made for
use by the sub-program For array variables
supplying only the name will pass the address of the start of the array with indices supplied, the address of that element is passed missing indices are assumed to be 1
DIMENSION A(5,5)
CALL SUB(A,A(3,2))
SUBROUTINE SUB(X,Y)
DIMENSION X(5,5)
REAL Y
…
END
AE6382
Sub Programs
When arrays are used the shape of the array must match in both the caller and the
called units the shape is the number of dimensions and extent of each
dimension, 5x5 a mis-match will generally result in incorrect calculations and
results
DIMENSION A(5,5)
CALL SUB(A)
SUBROUTINE SUB(X)
DIMENSION X(5,5)
…
END
AE6382
Sub Programs
A common sight for formal array declarations is the use of 1 as a dimension extent
This works only for the right-most index This works because the mapping from multi-dimensional
to one-dimensional form
DIMENSION A(5,5)
CALL SUB(A)
SUBROUTINE SUB(X)
DIMENSION X(5,1)
…
END
AE6382
Array Storage
Arrays in Fortran are stored in column major order C, C++, … store arrays in row major order, important to know if
calling sub-programs written in the other language
The array is allocated as a series of columns The left-most subscript varies fastest
For an array dimensioned as A(M,N). The mapping for element A(I,J) to the equivalent one-dimensional array is,
INDEX = (I - 1) * (J - 1)*M
