Older programming languages, such as Fortran or Cobol have array subscripts starting with one, because they were meant as high-level programming languages, and as such they had to have a correspondence to the usual ordinal numbers.

SPEC benchmarks are written in a platform neutral programming language ( usually C, Java or Fortran ), and the interested parties may compile the code using whatever compiler they prefer for their platform, but may not change the code.

Rice's new design for Coarray Fortran, which they call Coarray Fortran 2. 0, is an expressive set of coarray-based extensions to Fortran designed to provide a productive parallel programming model.

Compilers for Fortran and C were available.

It also meant good programming productivity even in assembly language, as high level languages such as Fortran or Algol were not always available or appropriate ( microprocessors in this category are sometimes still programmed in assembly language for certain types of critical applications ).

F retains the array features added in Fortran 90, and removes control statements that were made obsolete by structured programming constructs added to both Fortran 77 and Fortran 90.

Many of the minicomputer performance claims were based on the Fortran version of the Whetstone benchmark.

Business users were moving from Autocoders via COMTRAN to COBOL, while scientific users programmed in General Interpretive Programme ( GIP ), Fortran, ALGOL, GEORGE, and others.

Arbitrary restrictions and unnatural punctuation that had plagued Fortran users were to be removed.

Major languages such as Fortran, ALGOL, and COBOL were released in the late 1950s to deal with scientific, algorithmic, and business problems respectively.

Over the years several operating systems and compilers for programming languages such as Fortran, Algol and Pascal were developed.

Microsoft Fortran and the first 32 bit compiler for 80386 were also part of this project.

One feature of the S / 34 was that Basic and Fortran were exclusive.

One feature of the S / 36 was that Basic and Fortran were exclusive.

Later versions of the game moved away from general purpose programming languages such as C or Fortran, and were instead written for special interactive fiction engines, such as Infocom's Z-machine.

In 2003, the Watcom C / C ++ and Fortran compilers were released as an open source project under a new name, Open Watcom.

In primitive languages such as early Fortran and Basic, there were a few built-in statement types, and little or no means of extending them in a structured manner.

Years later, elements of this compiler ( combined with some ideas from fellow TMRC member Steven Piner, the author of a very early PDP-4 Fortran compiler while working for Digital Equipment Corporation ) were typed in and " showed signs of life ".

Programming languages used were assembler and COBOL and Fortran ( an Algol 60 compiler was provided but not used much, if at all ).

In " unstructured " programming languages such as BASIC and Fortran, line numbers were used to specify the targets of branching statements.

even before the first Fortran compilers were available.

The Fortran 66 programmers were only able to take advantage of slicing matrices by row, and then only when passing that row to a subroutine:

Their perspective is that the Fortran 2008 standard committee's design choices were shaped more by the desire to introduce as few modifications to the language as possible than to assemble the best set of extensions to support parallel programming.

There were also Fortran proposals for ' assigned ' and a keyword ( to complement the existing loop ).

Fortran was widely used for scientific programming but had very basic control-flow primitives (" do " and " goto ") and no " macro " facility which limited its expressiveness.

Whetstone, developed in 1972, originally strove to mimic typical Algol 60 programs based on measurements from 1970, but eventually became most popular in its Fortran version, reflecting the highly numerical orientation of computing in the 1960s.

Originally developed by IBM at their campus in south San Jose, California in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications, Fortran came to dominate this area of programming early on and has been in continual use for over half a century in computationally intensive areas such as numerical weather prediction, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, computational physics and computational chemistry.

The name is a pun on the earlier Fortran IV.

However, its use is not strictly limited to the GNU operating system ; it is a portable debugger that runs on many Unix-like systems and works for many programming languages, including Ada, C, C ++, Objective-C, Free Pascal, Fortran, Java and partially others.

KOMPILER was eventually replaced by a Fortran compiler on the IBM 704.

Results on a 2. 4 GHz Core 2 Duo ( 1 CPU 2007 ) vary from 9. 7 MWIPS using BASIC Interpreter, 59 MWIPS via BASIC Compiler, 347 MWIPS using 1987 Fortran, 1, 534 MWIPS through HTML / Java to 2, 403 MWIPS using a modern C / C ++ compiler.

For example, COBOL is still strong in the corporate data center, often on large mainframes ; Fortran in scientific and engineering applications ; and C in embedded applications and operating systems.

COBOL, for example, is commonly used for business applications that typically run on mainframe and midrange computers, whereas Fortran is used in science and engineering.

The leaked Zork source code was later used by Bob Supnik, a programmer from Digital Equipment Corporation, to create a Fortran IV port, which allowed the game to run on the smaller DEC PDP-11.

When Zork became a commercial product at Infocom, Infocom agreed that if an Infocom copyright notice was put on the Fortran version, noncommercial distribution would be allowed.

The Fortran version of Dungeon was widely available on DEC VAXes, being one of the most popular items distributed by DECUS.

CTSS was written in a dynamic memory Fortran first named LRLTRAN which ran on CDC 7600s and renamed CVC ( pronounced " Civic ") when vectorization for the Cray-1 was added.

Their Fortran compiler went on to be licensed to other computers such as Ardent and Stellar ( and merged Stardent ).

The production compiler for iWarp was a C and Fortran compiler based on the AT & T pcc compiler for UNIX, ported under contract for Intel and then extensively modified and extended by Intel.

* cosmdist-0. 2. 0-command line and / or C or Fortran library, based on GNU Scientific Library, for as functions of z and their inverses

QUADPACK is a collection of algorithms, in Fortran, for numerical integration based on Gaussian quadrature.

One major advantage the system had in educational environments was that through the use of special lines called " control cards " at the top of a file, source files for any supported language could be automatically directed to the appropriate compiler ( Fortran being the default ), compiled, linked, and executed, ( with compilation, linkage, and execution options also specified in control cards ) simply by entering the filename on a command line.

A classic work on the subject was The Elements of Programming Style, written in the 1970s, and illustrated with examples from the Fortran and PL / I languages prevalent at the time.

The last stable release of the previous major version, 3. 5. 5, which is based on K Desktop Environment 3 technology, supports many programming languages such as Ada, Bash, C, C ++, Fortran, Java, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby.

* 1991 Fortran 5 – " Heart on the Line " ( V. C.

The compiler was based on the Convex Fortran ( and C ) compiler.

One could not run a Fortran program on the system when running Basic, nor vice versa.
