The best way to learn a programming language is to start reading and writing programs immediately. If a computer is available, we encourage you to write and run programs modeled on the simple programs in this chapter. In addition to this book, you will need a short set of directions to show you how to enter and run a program at your local installation.
This chapter covers the basic features of Fortran needed to perform simple calculations and print their results. Two case studies illustrate these features and provide some insight into the debugging process.
