| | Fortran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Fortran (also FORTRAN) is a computer programming language originally developed in the 1950s; it is still used for scientific computing and numerical computation half a century later. | | | Fortran 90 was a major revision, adding free source form, dynamic memory allocation, array operations, abstract data types, operator overloading, pointers, and modules to group related procedures and data together. | | | Fortran 95 was a minor revision, adding features for parallel programming from the High Performance Fortran dialect, such as user-defined pure and elemental functions, and the forall construct. |

| | Numerical Recipes in Fortran |
| | Fortran 90 is a general-purpose programming langauge that provides superior facilities for dealing with numerical data, and it is far and away the best language for most applications that are dominated by mathematical, engineering, or scientific analysis. | | | The reason for this is that Fortran continues to be the nearly universal language of scientific computing. | | | F retaining the modern features of Fortran - modules and data abstraction, for example - but discards those which are obsolete, or which are difficult to teach or use. |

Glennie for his Autocode compiler for the Manchester I computer in 1952. | | | For many years, FORTRAN dominated programming, and was described as the lingua franca, or common tongue, for computer programmers. |

| | Prior to the development of FORTRAN computer programmers were required to program in machine/assembly code, which was an extremely difficult and time consuming task, not to mention the dreadful chore of debugging the code. | | | FORTRAN was so innovative not only because it was the first high-level language, but also because of it's compiler, which is credited as giving rise to the branch of computer science now known as compiler theory. | | | Fortran basics How to use Fortran on the Unix computers at Stanford Variables, declarations, and types Expressions and assignment Logical. |

| | Fortran 90 history |
| | Fortran was the first language to be processed in standardization activities for computer technology. | | | Work on Fortran began in 1954; in 1957 an IBM research team headed by John Backus delivered the first Fortran compiler for the IBM 704 computer. | | | Work on FORTRAN 77 (X3.9-1978) became intense in the mid 1970s, when many new facilities important to the user community were being developed. |

| | A brief history of FORTRAN/Fortran |
| | Fortran won the battle against Assembly language, the first in a series of battles to come, and was adopted by the scientific and military communities and used extensively in the Space Program and military projects. | | | The pioneers of FORTRAN didn't invent the idea of writing programs in a High Level Language (HLL) and compiling the source code to object code with an optimizing compiler, but they produced the first successful HLL. | | | By the way, Backus was also system co-designer of the computer that run the first compiler, the IBM 704. |
