FORTRAN90 - Practical Exercises

Session -1

Question 1: (Expressions)

Rewrite the following expression so that it contains the equivalent symbolic relational
operators and then ad d parenthesis to ind icate the ord er of evaluation,

.NOT.A.AND.B.EQV.C.OR.D.AND.E.OR.x.GT.y.AND.y.eq.z

Ad d parenthesis to this expression to ind icate the ord er of evaluation,

-a*b-c/d **e/f+g**h+1-j/k

Question 2: (Control structures)

Write a simple program to read in the rad ius and calculate the area of the correspond ing
circle and volume of the sphere.
(Use the statements: DO, PRINT and READ. And , the value of PI is 3.14159 )

Question 3: (Control structures, Intrinsic fucntions)

Write a program to accept three (INTEGER) lengths and report back on whether these
lengths could d e ne an equilateral, isosoles or scalene triangle (3, 2 or 0 equal length sid es)
or whether they cannot form a triangle.

Question 4: (Control structures, Functions)

Write a program to read in a vector d e ned by a length, r and an angle, , in d egrees which
prints out the correspond ing (x; y) co-ord inates. Recall that arguments to trigonometric
functions are in rad ians.

Question 5: (Control structures)

Using a SELECT CASE block and integer d ivision write a program that read s in a d ecimal
number between 0 and 9 9 9 and prints out the equivalent in Roman Numerals.

Question 6: (Arrays - Rank, Extents etc.)

Give the rank, bound s, size and shape of the arrays d e ned as follows:
REAL, DIMENSION(1:10) :: ONE
REAL, DIMENSION(2,0:2) :: TWO
INTEGER, DIMENSION(-1:1,3,2) :: THREE
REAL, DIMENSION(0:1,3) :: FOUR

Question 7: (Arrays - Conformance)

Given
REAL, DIMENSION(1:10) :: ONE
REAL, DIMENSION(2,0:2) :: TWO
INTEGER, DIMENSION(-1:1,3,2) :: THREE
REAL, DIMENSION(0:1,3) :: FOUR

Which two of the arrays are conformable?

Question 8: (Array sections)

Declare an array of rank 3 which might be suitable for representing a hotel with 8 floors and
16 rooms on each floor and two bed s in each room. How would the second bed in the 5th
room on floor 7 be referenced ?

Question 9: (Array Element Ord ering)

Given
REAL, DIMENSION(1:10) :: ONE
REAL, DIMENSION(2,0:2) :: TWO
INTEGER, DIMENSION(-1:1,3,2) :: THREE
REAL, DIMENSION(0:1,3) :: FOUR

Write d own the array element ord er of each array.

Question 10: (Array Sections)

Declare an array which would be suitable for representing a chess board . Write a program to
set all the white squares to zero and the black squares to unity. (A chess board is 8x8 with
alternate black and white squares)

Question 11: (MATMUL Intrinsic)

For the d eclarations:

REAL, DIMENSION(100,100) :: A, B, C

what is the d ifference between C=MATMUL(A,B) and C=A*B?

Question 12: (Simple subroutines)

Write a main program and internal subroutine that returns, as its rst argument, the sum of
two real numbers.

Question 13: (Simple functions)

Write a main program and an internal function that returns the sum of two real numbers
supplied as arguments.

Question 14: (Internal functions - Stand ard d eviation)

Write a program which contains an internal function that returns the stand ard d eviation from
the mean of an array of real values. Note that if the mean of a sequence of values (xi ; i = 1;
n) is d enoted by “m” and the stand ard d eviation is d enoted by “s”.

[Hint: In Fortran 9 0 SUM(X) is the sum of the elements of X.]

Question 15: (Mod ules)

Write a mod ule containing a function which returns the position of a particular number in an
array of sorted integers.

Question 16: (Mod ules – Complex arithmetic)

Write a MODULE called Integer Complex Arithmetic which contains 4 FUNCTIONs each
accepting two integer complex number `operand s' and d elivering the result of ad d ition,
subtraction, multiplication and d ivision. (Hint: Use d erived d ata types)
