| Contains a complete description of the standard programming language FORTRAN 90, covering all of its features in a format that's easier to read than the standard itself. The book also includes: a chart of command changes from FORTRAN 77 to FORTRAN 90, cross referencing of commands for typical applications from FORTRAN 77 to FORTRAN 90.
The Fortran 90 Handbook is a definitive and comprehensive guide to Fortran 90 and its use. Fortran 90, the latest standard version of Fortran, has many excellent new features that will assist the programmer in writing efficient, portable, and maintainable programs. The Fortran 90 Handbook is an informal description of Fortran 90, developed to provide not only a readable explanation of features, but also some rationale for the inclusion of features and their use. In addition, “models” give the reader better insight as to why things are done as they are in the language.
This handbook is intended for anyone who wants a comprehensive survey of Fortran 90, including those familiar with programming language concepts but unfamiliar with Fortran. Experienced Fortran 77 programmers will be able to use this volume to assimilate quickly those features in Fortran 90 that are not in Fortran 77 (Fortran 90 is a superset of Fortran 77). |
