Opleiding: Fortran Programming
In the course Fortran Programming from SpiralTrain participants learn to develop applications in the latest version of the Fortran language.Fortran Intro
The course starts with an overview of the development of Fortran and then covers data descriptions, control structures, data processing and Fortran Rules.
Variabelen and Data Types
Also variables, data types and operators in Fortran are treated. Special attention is paid to Fortran arithmetic with rounding, truncation and integer division.
Tabular Data and Arrays
Subsequently tabular data and arrays are also discussed. Attention is paid to allocatable arrays, multidimensional arrays, array constructors and operations that work on entire arrays.
File I/O
Fortran naturally also has facilities for accessing the file system. Formatted and Unformatted File I/O are therefore discussed in the course and Records, Data Edit Descriptors and End of Record indicators are treated as well.
Functions and Flow Control
Then it's time for functions and control flow in Fortran. Attention is paid to library functions, transformation functions, recursive functions, user defined and pure functions. And the various control flow constructions for selections and iterations are reviewed as well.
Characters
Special attention goes to dealing with characters in Fortran. Character Input, Character Operations, Character Sets and Edit Descriptors are discussed.
User Defined Types and Pointers
Finally special types in Fortran such as User Defined Types and pointers are on the program of the course and object oriented programming in Fortran with classes, objects and inheritance is treated.
Audience Course Fortran Programming
The course Fortran Programming is intended for anyone who wants to learn how to program in the Fortran programming language.
Prerequisites Course Fortran Programming
To participate in this course, basic knowledge of programming in another programming language is beneficial to the understanding but is not required.
Realization Training Fortran Programming
The theory is discussed on the basis of presentation slides. The theory is explained further through demos. After discussing a module, there is the possibility to practice. Course times are from 9.30am to 16.30pm.
Certification Course Fortran Programming
After successful completion of the course participants receive an official certificate Fortran Programming.
