Learning Fortran Language

Fortran was the first programming language which had transformed the machine code programming environment into higher level programming for more flexibility and especially converting mathematical formula.

Fortran Sytax:

PROGRAM centigrade_to_fahrenheit
     IMPLICIT NONE
     REAL :: temp_c, temp_f
     PRINT *,"What is the Centigrate tempeture?"
     READ *,temp_c
     temp_f = 9.0+temp_c/5.0+32.0
     PRINT *, temp_c, "C=",temp_f,"F"
END PROGRAM centigrade_to_fahrenheit

This is a subroutine to convert centigrade into fahrenheit. The first line of the syntax declares the subroutine. The second line declares that implicit is none means no link with other subroutines.  The third line assigns the varialble with REAL (Float) data type.  The forth and fifthe lines prompts the user to input the centigrade tempeture value. The sixth line converts the data that came in from the user promt and converts it into fahrenheit. The seventh line prints out the result and eighth line ends the subroutine. 

Fortan is widely used among engineers, scientists, matheticians, and insurence professional. It is as a matter of fact an academic digital programming language.

If you understand the Fortran programming language, you can easily program all xBase database such as FoxPro, dBase and Clipper.

However the language is not that essential for the web site building for ecommerce.  But you never know when it can be useful.  So it's always benefitial to learn Fortan and it is still widely in use.

If you are interested in scientific analysis and working for NASA or want to become an astronomer this language can be very useful. Also, you want to be an expert on actuary or insurence programming this will get you job in America.
