FORTRAN 77 - Example Program Code
This section provides a simple example program code of FORTRAN 77 language.
In FORTRAN 77, several interesting features were added to FORTRAN 66:
Here is a simple example code of FORTRAN 77 that calculates the area of triangles using Heron's formula:
C AREA OF A TRIANGLE - HERON'S FORMULA C INPUT - CARD READER UNIT 5, INTEGER INPUT C OUTPUT - LINE PRINTER UNIT 6, REAL OUTPUT C INPUT ERROR DISPAYS ERROR MESSAGE ON OUTPUT PROGRAM AREA INTEGER A, B, C CHARACTER MSGEND*40, MSGERR*40 MSGEND = "NORMAL END" STRERR = "INPUT ERROR" 100 READ(5,10,END=200,ERR=300) A,B,C 10 FORMAT(3I5) IF(A=0 .OR. B=0 .OR. C=0) THEN WRITE(6,*) "Zero value not allowed" ELSE S = (A + B + C) / 2.0 AREA = SQRT( S * (S - A) * (S - B) * (S - C)) WRITE(6,20) A,B,C,AREA 20 FORMAT(" A=",I5,", B=",I5,", C=",I5,", AREA=", * F10.2," SQUARE UNITS") END IF GO TO 100 200 WRITE(6,*) MSGEND STOP 300 WRITE(6,*) MSGERR STOP END
