Fortran was originally developed by a team at IBM in 1957 for scientific calculations. Later developments made it into a high level programming language. In this tutorial, we will learn the basic concepts of Fortran and its programming code.
VS has written an explanation on FORTRAN. He explains how the language works and how to use it. When first put into operations it was used in the development if the National Airspace System better know as Air Defense Command. The language was extremely useful in the early stages of automated systems for Air Defense and Air Traffic Control. This is an excellent recap of many programmers thru the years.....dEHS
