In the course Fortran Programming participants learn to develop applications in the latest version of the Fortran language. Fortran was originally created in 1957 to perform mainly scientific calculations. Over time however, Fortran has evolved into a higher programming language with support for modern concepts such as object-oriented programming.
The course starts with an overview of the development of Fortran and then covers data descriptions, control structures, data processing and Fortran Rules.
Also variables, data types and operators in Fortran are treated. Special attention is paid to Fortran arithmetic with rounding, truncation and integer division.
Subsequently tabular data and arrays are also discussed. Attention is paid to allocatable arrays, multidimensional arrays, array constructors and operations that work on entire arrays.
Fortran naturally also has facilities for accessing the file system. Formatted and Unformatted File I/O are therefore discussed in the course and Records, Data Edit Descriptors and End of Record indicators are treated as well.
Then it's time for functions and control flow in Fortran. Attention is paid to library functions, transformation functions, recursive functions, user defined and pure functions. And the various control flow constructions for selections and iterations are reviewed as well.
Special attention goes to dealing with characters in Fortran. Character Input, Character Operations, Character Sets and Edit Descriptors are discussed.
Finally special types in Fortran such as User Defined Types and pointers are on the program of the course and object oriented programming in Fortran with classes, objects and inheritance is treated.
The course Fortran Programming is intended for anyone who wants to learn how to program in the Fortran programming language.
To participate in this course, basic knowledge of programming in another programming language is beneficial to the understanding but is not required.
The theory is discussed on the basis of presentation slides. The theory is explained further through demos. After discussing a module, there is the possibility to practice. Course times are from 9.30am to 16.30pm.
After successful completion of the course participants receive an official certificate Fortran Programming.
