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.
Main
program main
implicit none
call menu()
end program main
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
MenuExpand source
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.)
