Let's learn FORTRAN -2-Programming basics

Previous [1-Short History]

Install: To become a FORTRAN programmer this software can be used. Many other tools may be used by buying software maker. 

A program is a set of instructions that tell a computer to do a particular task. The program itself does not execute commands rather the computer acts as the program asks the computer to do. 

To create an effective program the followings are to be considered before starting to write a program. 

1. Understanding the aims of the program.

2. Based on the information fixing what input will be and what output it will produce. 

3. Understanding the computation process i.e the algorithms to be used and their order.

However one or more steps of above 3 can be skipped. 

FOR an effective program these points should also be considered.

4. Creating a program that will solve specified problem with the algorithm(s) and input/output requirements that have been identified. 

And finally

5. Testing the program
