Introduction to FORTRAN 77 : Vieweg+Teubner Verlag : 9783528033606 : 3528033606 : 01 Jan 1986 : Fortran is one of the most common programming languages in the field of science and Fortran compilers are available for almost all computers and are being increasingly used by personal computers. The initial standard version of Fortran IV has been extended enormously due to the large range of computers available and the numerous requirements demanded of them. As a result of this there are at present a vast number of Fortran "language dialects" which impairs the exchange of programs. Fortran 77 is a new language standard which includes many of the previous extensions. Furthermore, Fortran 77 subset has been developed which takes into consideration the limited possibilities of small computers. This book is intended, by means of examples, to introduce the reader to the programming language Fortran 77, whereby the liminations of Fortran 77 subset will be taken into consideration. The examples an
