FORTRAN Programming Assignment Guide

This document provides step-by-step instructions on how to install GFortran, write, compile,
and run FORTRAN programs for the CSC 280.1 assignment.

1. Installing GFortran
GFortran can be installed based on your operating system:

For Windows:
1. Download MinGW-w64 from https://www.mingw-w64.org/downloads/
2. Install it and ensure Fortran is selected.
3. Add C:\mingw-w64\bin to your system's Environment Variables.

For Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):


1. Open a terminal and run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gfortran

For Mac:
1. Install Homebrew (if not installed):
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
2. Install GFortran with:
brew install gcc

2. Writing and Running FORTRAN Programs


1. Open a text editor (Notepad, VS Code, or Sublime Text).
2. Write a FORTRAN program and save it with a .f90 extension.
3. Open a terminal and navigate to the folder where your file is saved.
4. Compile the program using:
gfortran program.f90 -o program
5. Run the program:
./program (Linux/Mac) or program.exe (Windows)

3. Assignment Questions and Solutions


A. Input and Output

Input allows users to enter data, while output displays results.


Example program:
------------------------
PROGRAM InputOutput
IMPLICIT NONE
INTEGER :: age
PRINT *, "Enter your age: "
READ *, age
PRINT *, "You are ", age, " years old."
END PROGRAM InputOutput

B. Loops

Loops repeat a block of code multiple times.


Example DO loop:
------------------------
PROGRAM LoopExample
IMPLICIT NONE
INTEGER :: i
DO i = 1, 5
PRINT *, "Iteration: ", i
END DO
END PROGRAM LoopExample

C. Decisions (Conditional Statements)

Decisions allow conditional execution of statements.


Example IF statement:
------------------------
PROGRAM DecisionExample
IMPLICIT NONE
INTEGER :: num
PRINT *, "Enter a number: "
READ *, num
IF (num > 0) THEN
PRINT *, "The number is positive."
ELSE IF (num < 0) THEN
PRINT *, "The number is negative."
ELSE
PRINT *, "The number is zero."
END IF
END PROGRAM DecisionExample

D. Arrays

Arrays store multiple values in a single variable.


Example:
------------------------
PROGRAM ArrayExample
IMPLICIT NONE
INTEGER, DIMENSION(5) :: numbers
INTEGER :: i
numbers = (/10, 20, 30, 40, 50/)
PRINT *, "Array elements:"
DO i = 1, 5
PRINT *, numbers(i)
END DO
END PROGRAM ArrayExample

E. Arithmetic/Assignment Statements

Arithmetic statements perform calculations.


Example:
------------------------
PROGRAM ArithmeticExample
IMPLICIT NONE
INTEGER :: a, b, sum
PRINT *, "Enter two numbers: "
READ *, a, b
sum = a + b
PRINT *, "Sum: ", sum
END PROGRAM ArithmeticExample

F. Subroutines

Subroutines are reusable blocks of code.


Example:
------------------------
PROGRAM SubroutineExample
IMPLICIT NONE
CALL Greet()
CONTAINS
SUBROUTINE Greet()
PRINT *, "Hello from the subroutine!"
END SUBROUTINE Greet
END PROGRAM SubroutineExample

4. Capturing Output Screenshots


After running your programs, take a screenshot of the terminal output:
- Windows: Press 'Windows + Shift + S' to capture the screen.
- Mac: Press 'Command + Shift + 4' to take a screenshot.
- Linux: Use 'Print Screen' or the screenshot tool.
Save the images and include them in your assignment submission.
