Pre Class Discussion:

If you are not registered for this class, Dr. Adams will go Ninja on you and kick you out.

During Class Discussion:

Playing around with FORTRAN

Save data files using “All Files” do not use the return key à For saving data.in

C:\ filename < data.in > data.out à For running the program with a given input from the cmd line and outputting to a text file

Play with the following:

READ (5, 10, END = 40) …

or

READ (5, 10, ERROR = 50) …

What is the difference between using a FORMAT(40I2) and a FORMAT(I2) using an implied DO loop in a READ statement?

Input will need to be on 1 line for the first FORMAT and 40 lines of input for the second FORMAT (it picked up the first two characters and ignore the rest)

Be careful: When reading in numerical data in FORTRAN 12E is read as an exponential/engineering notation

Homework:

Be attentive for an incoming homework assignment!

See the Free Pascal compiler on the links page.

You will need to create a .bat file

path=%path%;C:\Dev-pas\bin

OR change your path to the executable (probably shouldn’t do), or make a copy ( path > myRealPath.bat )

Quotes of the Day:
