CS 342 Lecture -*- Outline -*-

* Analysis of FORTRAN
**	Good points
		Algebraic notation, precedence
		Subroutines
		Optimizing compilers
		Support for scientific programming
**	Bad points
		fixed format syntax
		lack of keywords
		insecurities: (array subscripts, assigned goto)
		common blocks: source of errors, type violations
		equivalence: source of type violations
		implicit declarations
		non-hierarchical syntax (lack of structured statements)
		lack of character manipulation facilities

** Improvements later versions
***	Fortran 77
		structured if statements (if-then-else) (no while loop)
		more careful definition
***	In Fortran 8x
		(should check on this)
		modules (user-defined types), case, dynamic arrays,
		array operations (for vector computers)
