Abstract. The Fortran programming language remains quite popular in a number of scientific and engineering communities and continues to serve a mission-critical role in many NASA projects.
FORTRAN was designed for scientists and engineers, and has dominated this field. For the past 30 years FORTRAN has been used for such projects as the design of bridges and aeroplane structures, it is used for factory automation control, for storm drainage design, analysis of scientific data and so on.
2. What is Fortran? The most common Fortran version today is still Fortran 77, although Fortran 90 is growing in popularity. Fortran 95 is a revised version of Fortran 90 which (as of early 1996) is expected to be approved by ANSI soon.
The Intel Fortran Compiler is part of Intel Parallel Studio XE. Try it today for 30 days, and optionally convert to a paid license that includes Priority Support for one year. Students and classroom educators may qualify for a free version of the suite.
Fortran (/ˈf?ːrtræn/; formerly FORTRAN, derived from Formula Translation) is a general-purpose, compiled imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing.
According to a COBOL consulting company, which goes by the delightful name, COBOL Cowboys, 200 billion lines of COBOL code are still in use today and that 90% of Fortune 500 companies still having COBOL code keeping the lights on. Today, COBOL is kept up and running by Micro Focus.
Pascal. Developed in the late 1960s, Pascal is an imperative and procedural programming language that was originally designed for teaching programming languages. Today, it's been mostly replaced by C, C++ and Java, but it's still used as an introduction to programming.
Object-Oriented Fortran is an object-oriented extension of Fortran, in which data items can be grouped into objects, which can be instantiated and executed in parallel. It was available for Sun, Iris, iPSC, and nCUBE, but is definitely supported.

Computer Programming Languages
FORTRAN is an acronym for FORmula TRANslator. It is not a highly structured language (akin to BASIC), where GO TO statements are extensively used for flow control. Unlike BASIC, only lines used in branching statements get numbered.Before the initial standardization in 1998, C++ was developed by Danish computer scientist Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs since 1979 as an extension of the C language; he wanted an efficient and flexible language similar to C that also provided high-level features for program organization.
Fortran is a compiled language, or more specifically it is compiled ahead-of-time. In other words, you must perform a special step called compilation of your written code before you are able to run it on a computer.
Statements. A statement consists of one or more key words, symbolic names, literal constants, and operators, with appropriate punctuation. In FORTRAN, no keywords are reserved in all contexts. Most statements begin with a keyword; the exceptions are the statement function and assignment statements.
COBOL (/ˈko?b?l, -b?ːl/; an acronym for "common business-oriented language") is a compiled English-like computer programming language designed for business use. COBOL is still widely used in applications deployed on mainframe computers, such as large-scale batch and transaction processing jobs.
About Swift. Swift is a general-purpose programming language built using a modern approach to safety, performance, and software design patterns. The goal of the Swift project is to create the best available language for uses ranging from systems programming, to mobile and desktop apps, scaling up to cloud services.
What are Computer Programming Languages? Computer programming languages allow us to give instructions to a computer in a language the computer understands. Just as many human-based languages exist, there are an array of computer programming languages that programmers can use to communicate with a computer.
