1.1) Program Structure and Compiling

In this course, we focus on teaching how to program in Fortran 95. Fortran was modernised at the release of Fortran 90, and so Fortran 95 has the modern programming structure that you will see in all the latest Fortran programming. We will use Fortran 95 throughout this course but we will also show you Fortran 77 coding in certain places so you are aware of some of the key differences. It is important to learn the basics of both since both versions are widely used. So let’s begin.
