This textbook provides an accessible introduction to the most
important features of Fortran 2008. Features: presents a complete
discussion of all the basic features needed to write complete
Fortran programs; makes extensive use of examples and case studies
to illustrate the practical use of features of Fortran 08, and
supplies simple problems for the reader; provides a detailed
exploration of control constructs, modules, procedures, arrays,
character strings, data structures and derived types, pointer
variables, and object-oriented programming; includes coverage of
such major new features in Fortran 08 as coarrays, submodules,
parameterized derived types, and derived-type input and output;
highlights the topic of modules as the framework for organizing
data and procedures for a Fortran program; investigates the
excellent input/output facilities available in Fortran; contains
appendices listing the many intrinsic procedures and providing a
brief informal syntax specification for the language.
The Fortran 2003 Handbook is a definitive and comprehensive guide
to Fortran 2003 and its use. Fortran 2003, the latest standard
version of Fortran, has many excellent features that assist the
programmer in writing efficient, portable and maintainable
programs. This all-inclusive volume offers a reader-friendly,
easy-to-follow and informal description of Fortran 2003, and has
been developed to provide not only a readable explanation of
features, but also some rationale for the inclusion of features and
their use. This highly versatile handbook is intended for anyone
who wants a comprehensive survey of Fortran 2003.
Fortran has been the premier language for scientific computing
since its introduction in 1957. Fortran originally was designed to
allow programmers to evaluate for- las-FORmula TRANslation-easily
on large computers. Fortran compilers are now available on all
sizes of machines, from small desktop computers to huge multiproc-
sors. The Guide to Fortran 2003 Programming is an informal,
tutorial introduction to the most important features of Fortran
2003 (also known as Fortran 03), the latest standard version of
Fortran. Fortran has many modern features that will assist the
programmer in writing efficient, portable, and maintainable
programs that are useful for everything from "hard science" to text
processing. Target Audience This book is intended for anyone who
wants to learn Fortran 03, including those fam- iar with
programming language concepts but unfamiliar with Fortran.
Experienced Fortran 95 programmers will be able to use this volume
to assimilate quickly those f- tures in Fortran 03 that are not in
Fortran 95 (Fortran 03 contains all of the features of Fortran 95).
This guide is not a complete reference work for the entire Fortran
l- guage; it covers the basic features needed to be a good Fortran
programmer and an - troduction to the important new features of
Fortran 03. Many older error-prone features have been omitted and
some of the more esoteric features that are new to F- tran 03 also
are not discussed.
Written by members of the Fortran 90 ISO and ANSI committees, this
book is the source of the most important information about the
powerful Fortran 90 programming language. It is organized so that
it may be read beginning to end, but also so that particular topics
may be studied directly. All of the important new features of
Fortran 90 are covered with examples and case studies are used to
illustrate the practical use of features. There are also simple
problems designed to enable the reader to exercise their knowledge
of the topics learned. Amongst the features of this book are: -
free source form, new do and case constructs, recursion, modules,
data structures, array processing, internal procedures, optional
and keyword arguments, and nonadvancing input/output; - extensive
examples of Fortran 90 programs; - case studies that illustrate the
practical use of Fortran 90 features; - style notes; - extensive
discussion of input/output facilities; - the complete syntax of
Fortran 90.

The Fortran 95 Handbook, a comprehensive reference work for the
Fortran programmer and implementor, contains a complete description
of the Fortran 95 programming language. The chapters follow the
same sequence of topics as the Fortran 95 standard, but contain a
more thorough and informal explanation of the language's features
and many more examples. Appendices describe all the intrinsic
features, the deprecated features, and the complete syntax of the
language. The Handbook also includs a feature not found in the
standard: a cross reference of all the syntax terms, giving the
rule that defines each term and all the rules that reference it.
Major new features added in Fortran 95 are the 'FORALL' statement
and construct, pure and elemental procedures, and structure and
pointer default initialization.
