FORTRAN Programming Language

Fortran has been developed for numerical and scientific applications in the past years. In previous years, it was one of the compulsory courses for undergraduate engineering students. It appeared in 1954 with reference to IBM. The manual was released in 1956, and the compiler in 1957.
The chronological order of Fortran's versions is as follows;
FORTRAN I
After the first compiler in 1957, many companies released the compiler of this language.
FORTRAN II
It was developed for some problems in FORTRAN I.
FORTRAN III
It is a more advanced version of FORTRAN II.
FORTRAN IV
It is very useful and has a standard structure.
FORTRAN 66
It is the first portable FORTRAN standardized language.
FORTRAN 77
It has many useful innovations.
Fortran 90
It has free code structure, registers and new control units.
Fortran 95
It is a more advanced version of Fortran 90.
Fortran 2003
It is suitable for object-oriented programming and is suitable for writing common code with the C programming language.
Fortran 2008
It is a more advanced version of Fortran 2003. Parallel programming can be done with its distinctive feature Coarray Fortran.
FORTRAN 77 and higher versions are generally used. Fortran 90 and later are called modern Fortran.
Fortran has been the reference in the creation of C and Basic programming languages.
 
General Features of FORTRAN
It covers English commands, is mandatory, complies with numerical analysis scientific operations structured sequential modular general programming, use for supercomputers, object-oriented and concurrent programming structure. Suitable for introduction to programming. It is more advanced than C and C++ in scientific applications. It has compilers for multiple platforms. Not suitable for graphical applications.
It is rarely used today. There are 2 (two) types with fixed and free formatting. In the first, the codes were written within certain rules. For example, capitalization. In the second case, there is no distinction between upper and lower case letters. Before Fortran 90 it was hard formatting.
