Fortan

In case you like to experiment with FORTRAN, you can install and use it.

Learning Objective

Python is in scientific computing still used. It is easy to set up on a Pi so you can experiment with it.

Set op Fortan
Run it on your PI

Topics Covered

You may find still that many scientific programs are written in fortran. For some smaller fortran programs it is even possible to run them on a Raspberry pi.

Installation

Naturally you will need to install a fortran compiler, which you can do with

pi$ sudo apt-get install gfortran

Example

To test it out store the following program into hello.f90

program hello
    print *, "Hello World!"
end program hello

Now you can compile it with

pi$ gfortran -o hello hello.f90

Execute it with

pi$ hello
