Hello. I've been programming with Fortran since 1965 and still am. A LOT of changes and improvements have been made as I'm sure you know. Right now I work for...
Hi, since I just joined, I haven't had a chance yet to read all of the messages posted so far. But I was wondering if any of you are interested in applying...
Frankly, I don't think it makes a lot of sense to apply the object oriented paradigm to Fortran. For one thing, it's a call by reference, not a call by value ...
Two comments:<br><br>1) In Microsoft Fortran, you can specify that a<br> parameter is to be passed by value. You just<br> include [value], brackets and all, ...
Well, I've never written a compiler from start to finish (let alone an object oriented one) but it seems to me that it would. In Fortran, you're not "passing ...
Hello,<br><br>I'm trying to call a Fortran function contained in a dll from a VB 6 program. The function returns the p-value based on the chi square ...
Of course the code I listed does nothing. I omitted 99% of code and substitute an ellipsis. If you knew the first think about VB or dll files, you would ...
Visual Basic? I don't use crap like that, ok? I've already told you that. I already told you that I'm not familiar with dll files as well. So don't get on my...
Hi pal, I've called FORTRAN dll's from VB5, I think that you should create a module.bas instead of a Private function within your VB code.<br>In my program I ...
Thanks for your suggestions. I located my error and it's in the Function declaration in the VB code. Instead of declaring the passed variables as you show (X ...
Hi I'm new here!<br>I'm looking for an old FORTRAN interpreter or at least a MS-DOS based FORTRAN, that is for a class of Programming Languages, could anyone...
Well, first of all, there never were any Fortran Interpreters because Fortran was never an interpretive language. What you need is a compiler. The only way I...
Thanks a lot themooksman, I didn't know that FORTRAN was never an interpretive language, I will I haven't installed Linux yet but I will follow your advise....
One additional fact you may find interesting: it is because Fortran was not interpretive that Basic was invented (which was far more primitive than Visual...
Finally I got a free compiler at <a href=http://www.cs.yorku.ca/Courses/1540/ftn.htm, target=new>http://www.cs.yorku.ca/Courses/1540/ftn.htm,</a> I guess the...
Hi folks, I need help for a personal project.<br> <br> I want to write a program that evaluates a function and optimize (maximizing or minimizing) that using...
You make it sound like you want an interpretive programming environment. With Basic, LISP, or Matlab, you can keep adding functions as you go along. (Fortran...
I've read your post again, and it's still a bit confusing, but judging from the first line, you don't really want to change the actual "function" at all. It...
Hi. I'm aiming for a program which solve Optimization problems such as Linear Programming, you know, objective function and some constraints.<br><br>I'll ...
I'm not a civil or mechanical engineer, so I've never implemented the kinds of functions you mentioned, but I have a better idea of what you were talking about...
I actually own a version of Matlab but I don't know how to use it, do you know where can I get a tutorial (for free, if possible)?.<br><br>Another question, is...
It's not a matter of the language per se as much as the algorithms. Yes, the matlab algorithms are very numerically stable (much more so than what you get from...
Hi friends, how are you all.<br><br> I have a question about types, I hope you can help me.<br><br>I know how to change the type of vars at run time, that's,...
What exactly do you mean with changing types?<br><br>The versions of the language I know do not support changing types. You can do tricks, that have been used ...
Hi Luis.<br><br> Are you sure that's not possible?, well if that's my case can you tell me anything of that tricks you've talked about?.<br><br> I was ...
