Overview
Presents new examples on submodules, derived type i/o, object oriented programming, abstract interfaces and procedure pointers, C interop, sorting and searching, statistics and converting to more modern versions of Fortran
Contains lots of clear simple program examples highlighting the core language features
Includes six new chapters and two new appendices
Incorporates updates throughout the rest of the book to bring it in line with the latest standard - Fortran 2018, and in response to feedback from delegates
Fortran 2018 is backwards compatible with all earlier versions - Fortran 2008, 2003, 95, 90, 77 and 66, and thus the book is of use to people working with code based on these standards

About this book
This fourth Edition presents new examples on submodules, derived type i/o, object oriented programming, abstract interfaces and procedure pointers, C interop, sorting and searching, statistics and converting to more modern versions of Fortran.
Key Features
Highlights the core language features of modern Fortran including data typing, array processing, control structures, functions, subroutines, modules and submodules, user defined types, pointers, operator overloading, generic programming, parallel programming, abstract interfaces, procedure pointers
Pinpoints common problems that occur when programming
Illustrates the use of several compilers
