    Running your first FORTRAN 90 Program

    Type in the following exactly as shown:


    !My first program
    program first
    print *,'This is my first program'
    end program first
    Run program by clicking the following from the “Build” menu in the
    following order
    Compile
    Build
    Execute

    2
    Program to add two numbers

    program sum !a: name of program


    !an example of program structure !b: a comment
    real :: answer,x,y !c: declarations
    print *, 'Enter two numbers' !d: output
    read *, x !e: input
    read *, y !e: input
    answer=x+y !f :arithmetic
    print *, 'The total is ', answer !g: output
    end program sum !h: end of program

    Things to Note about the programs

    There are a number of general points here:


    ▪The program is made up of a number of lines.
    ▪Each line is called a statement.
    ▪Each statement is made up of
    • variable names e.g. answer, x, y
    • operators e.g. +,- etc
    • keywords e.g. read, print
    ▪The statements are executed sequentially.

    Analyse the program

    Let's break the program down, line by line:


    )The name of the program.
    Keep it reasonably short and meaningful.
    b) A comment explaining the purpose of the program.
    Comments are indicated by an exclamation mark.
    All text to the right of an exclamation mark is ignored by the
    compiler.
    Programmers use comments to help them remember how a
    program works.
    Use of appropriate comments in programs aids
    understanding and is good practice. You will get extra marks for
    using comments!
    Program Analysis contd

    c) Variables - answer, x and y are used to store floating point


    numbers – we indicate this by declaring them as real.
    d) print *, outputs to the screen – the asterisk means use the
    default number of decimal places when the number is written
    to the screen.
    e) We read information from the keyboard and store the
    values in x and y.
    f) Do some arithmetic and store the answer in answer.
    g) Output the result to the screen
    h) Conclude the program
    More on Input and Output

    Type in the following program:


    program io
    real :: x,y,z
    print *, 'enter the values x,y and z'
    read *, x,y,z
    print *, 'the values you typed are for z,y,x are: ',z,y,x
    end program io
    Run the program
    􀂉 You can enter the numbers one at a time and press the Enter key each time.
    􀂉 Run the program again
    􀂉 This time type all three numbers on one line separated by commas.
    Look at the print statement
