The business world needs Cobol, Fortran, RPG, and C+ languages. Each language has benefits the other does not. Artificial Intelligence designer solutions will incorporate each language where needed. All programming languages go through a compiler to generate computer machine code for the hardware platform it will run on. How good are today's compilers?

A very quick answer is: modern fortran is awesome

Epic!

As a further note: vector subscripts with many-one sections **should not** appear on the left-hand-side of assignment statements: i.e. **my_numbers(my_order) = primes** where my_order repeats the 1 index. This compiles using intel and gcc but is not standard conforming -- even if you did assign to each element in my_numbers.

Why couldn't the GitHub instructions for installing FPM be this clear.

Hey, I have a Meerkat and a Darter pro The Darter runs PopOs !

An undergrad chemical enginering student in the late 1960s, I learned to the program in Fortran IV using punch cards as input to an IBM 1620. What did it teach me? Logic. For my MBA thesis, I wrote a Monte Carlo simulation in Fortran IV. Some 50 plus years later, I remember those years fondly.

Excellent Video!!! Very clear and helpful. Please continue to make such Fortran related videos as you can. I also watched your Fortran <--> C interoperability video and that was remarkably good. Cheers!

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

We like Fortran at OakRidge. This showed up in my autoplay, great video.

It just works. As simple as Python, as fast as C. That has been my humble experience as a physics guy who needed things done.

Late to the party, but one very good reason was omitted, or at least I missed it if it was. This reason is that once a FORTRAN code has been compiled into an executable, said executable can be called from any language that can call executables. One can even name an executable and park it on the windows desk top or task bar. Keep in mind that one should only rarely compile a FORTRAN program. Rather one should learn to write subroutines, and get good at passing variables. Develop and document a subroutine for various and sundry things like finding the roots of polynomials and perhaps the area under a curve, or whatever floats your boat. When the bugs are worked out stash the executables for these routines and then call them as necessary for more complex tasks.

Nice...

I would like you to cover "command line control " using Fortran... I also have a quick question : I seem not to understand thw relevance of abstract derived type,..because to me I would just create all the derived types and place the respective method as a type-bound procedure...

Is that your evil twin that is teaching the Fortran course on Udemy that I am taking?

Like the video it is good. One other thing I would like to bring to your notice is that I bought your FORTRAN course, and based on my knowledge from other languages I was a bit dissatisfied in the courses; your course content was sparse...

By the time I first watched this video, I think I didn't fully understand and/or appreciate the value of vector subscripts. Now I think I better understand what's going on behind the scene. At 15:47, what do you mean by large complex objects? By a large complex object did you mean derived types with many components? If that's the case, I expect the application of vector subscripts to arrays of derived types would behave similarly, i.e. no copying at all or minimizing the cost of copying the components of derived types. Please correct me if I'm wrong. So if I do the following assignment Brr = Arr(indices_I_want_Arr_to_be_ordered_with), copies would not occur while the array Arr is sorted according to the integer subscripts I provide. Copies would only occur when Brr is created from the already sorted array Arr. (Here, `Brr' and 'Arr' are allocatable arrays of the same derived type and `indices_I_want_Arr_to_be_ordered_with' is an array of integers.)

Really like your videos. If time permits, would be great if you could create a series on Fotran programming in general, tips, and any other topics you think would be beneficial for new anyone learning or trying to improve their Fortran skills. One other request: please enlarge your screen and/or fonts so that your terminals and code you type are easier to read for the viewer. Thanks!

Thank you very much.

Thank you for the useful video. I am trying to deploy documents created by FORD to GitHub-pages. This video is quite timely and instructive.

Excelente transmision

What an awesome feature!

I'll tell you why, because the shitty Computer Engineering curriculum has it. And despite having no application whatsoever, it is worth 10 points out of 80 on finals.

Fantastic example. Please put out more videos. I hope you will address allocatable derived types array and let us know the best practices of appending (deleting) an item to (from) such an array!!

Like first watch later..

When does your new video come out? I have been looking for it. Please address the best practices for all sorts of allocatable arrays including derived type!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

One question! Is there any compiler other than Intel's that can compile Coarray Fortran code on Windows? Im having a lot of issues with OpenCoarrays so I was wondering if you ever tried to compile CAF using some open source compiler on Windows. Thank you!

i don't get what is the use of the huge area in the right which remains blank while writing the programs

It still been used in flight simulators. I think it is a nice language to read, a little like pascal.

Thank you for sharing this video. I enjoyed a lot. I noticed that you did not use the intrinsic function ALLOCATE() for variables of allocatable attribute. I was aware that we don't always need that intrinsic function but still do not really know when exactly it is not necessary. In the next time, can you explain/teach when we need ALLOCATE() function and when we need not? Thank you very much.

Who is using fortran these days?

Okay, but is there any good reason to use Fortran if you're not doing specifically numerical computation on CPU?

Ha ha... Libraries running Fortran under... That's happy to hear....

This is one of the most interesting languages I've ever heard of, and really cool that it still necessary to this day. I've probably seen it in action on the weather channel many times, or flight radar, etc. Computer science amazes me and just gets bigger the more I learn about it. Thanks for making this video!

I was talking to the power grid specialist professor at my university, and he said all of those things are still based on FORTRAN. It’s just baked into society at this point.

There is no extension shown as fpm when searched in VS2022 extension manager.

Never seen a person who knows fortran and is unsuccessful.

As a 28 y/o I am beyond shocked to find a video about Fortan recorded in 2021...My dad talks about learning Fortran and Cobol in college and makes it sound ancient....so this is interesting.

Nice! Will this work for FORTRAN77 aswell? I'm somewhat new to programming and can't seem to figure out how to get a compiler for it

Great summary! I'm all setup. Atom editor is really amazing.

It is in My Syllabus for B.Sc in Chemistry.

Did a lot of quantum simulation in Fortran

I have just started using FORTRAN today for simulation in physics. I hope a great journey ahead with FORTRAN....🤩🤩🤩🤩

Sir, it would be of a great beneficial extent if you were to create a Fortran tutorial, step-by-step-like, short and direct, lots of real-life examples.

Using java on daily basis but have some plans regarding fortran as part of self development.

Great content. Gonna to learn Fortran for fun ;)

thank you very much for your good explanation. it is working on my computer

Thank you, this is a much needed presentation, I wish that it is referred to in the main fpm page. After using fpm for some simple projects, I wanted to use it for a (simple) project using ffpw3. I struggled so much to reference the required 'include' files and -lfftw3 that I gave up and went back to make. After fighting make for a while, I decided to explore more fpm. I finally realized that the examples were the essential part of the documentation. So I created a library module for fftw3, so only that module needed the command line argument to include the FFTW include file, and I created an alias to fpm build to add the proper library flags (the development version of fpm allow specification by environment variables). After that trick, I was able to get rid of the make files and have a much simple configuration. It was also not obvious to me that I should explore all 'fpm help build', 'fpm help run', ... to find out the parameters to the commands. And with you video, I finally understand that the'build¨' sections and others are not event needed, and proper use of other sections (I had the feeling that [library] could be used to indicate some options for the required libraries. Anyhow it is much clearer now, I started with wrong assumptions and maybe other people could benefit from your introduction too.

Vast majority of bugs in compilers have been fixed? Please don't make me laugh, have you actually tried using associate together with block and openmp with ifort?. It is a broken piece of crap unless you only use the old shit and none of the "new" features. The ONLY thing decent about fortran is the built-in array support, at least for rectangular arrays. Try jagged arrays and it is shitty again. I will never understand, why no language (that I know of) has fully functional multidimensional array support with custom bounds, strides etc. Something like: int a[3,4][2][-10:10,20:2:30]

Thanks for the effort!
