CS620 Laboratory 8 The Joys of FORTRAN IV
Goal: understand the progress made in the last 50 years
in language design.
Process: Work in pairs:
- Translate exercise 5 on page 134 into C/C++. Note. there is a missing
statement something like this at the start of the FORTRAN:
DIMENSION A(200)
Here is my debugged FORTRAN 77 code:
[ ex5.f ]
for this program. I compiled it with g77 -o ex5 ex5.f.
Your task is to translate it into simple C/C++.
- Make your program compile and run.
- Translate the FORTRAN in exercise 1 chapter 5 (page 133) into a C/C++
program that will solve the same problem. It may help to draw a chart of
this program.
- Make your program compile and run. It is possible that the original
program has bugs.
- Remove any gotos, or classes.
Which was easiest to translate and fix: exercise 1 or exercise 5? Why?
Deliverable: Your grade will depend on how far you have got with
the above steps by the end of the laboratory. Each pair-programming
team gets 100% of the allocated points.
