This example is meant as a helpfull guide to see how Fortran looks in practice. And will show how to use subroutines, precision and simple arithmetic functions in fortran.

Info

The line 'implicit none' is needed in Fortran to avoid obscure errors when defining variables. In earlier Fortran versions all variables were implicitly given as floats (real) unless the first letter in the name between i and n. 'implicit none' makes sure all variables have to be given-type explicit

titleMenu

recursive subroutine menu() !'recursive' is needed if the subroutine or function will call itself either directly or implicit
	integer :: choice
	logical :: valid !A boolean to indicate if the input is valid (.TRUE. or .FALSE.)
	print *, '--------------------'
	print *, '-----Calculator-----'
	print *, '--------------------'
	print *, 'Addition 1'
	print *, 'Subtraction 2'
	print *, 'Multiplication 3'
	print *, 'Division 4'
	print *, 'High precision division 5'
	print *, 'Power 6'
	print *, 'Terminate 0'
	valid = .FALSE.	!Make shure the while loop runs atleast once
	do while (.NOT.valid)

			call division()
		else if (choice == 5) then
			call hp_division()
		else if (choice == 6) then
			call power()

			print *, 'Program finished'
		else

			valid = .FALSE.
