HW #9: More Fortran

Due Feb 13.

In the tutorial, work through hands-on-exercise 2.2 and 2.3. For the former, you might find this video of some help.

You can download the video here:



The purpose of exercise 2.2 is to give you some experience reading a real Fortran program and understanding it to the level of being able to make some simple modifications. In exercise 2.3, we are introduced to internal functions, which are limitations of the scope of functions to within the program. This will help you apply what you read, to modify program 2.2 further. And more than that, it will give you practice in writing functions, and understanding in how they take in their parameters and how they give back their return value. Part of the assignment is also to give me the meaning of "intent" in this context. Google is your friend in this regard.
