How to pronounce “fortran” in English

And I was learning Fortran, I was learning Assembly, which is a very low-level programming language used to create operating systems.

And I was like learning Fortran.

When I was first playing with the Fortran of climate models back 20 some years ago-- almost a quarter century ago-- in none of these models

He gave me a code in Fortran, and I didn't use that code.

I used to code in Fortran, so I kind of think of it as being stuck in a do loop.

It's just been translated from Fortran into more modern applications, but it's still the same base code.

when he was designing what would become FORTRAN, the main thing he was trying to solve was to figure out how to increase compiling speeds.

Four of them started with Fortran and eight of them started with Assembly.

Teach the scientist to use Fortran on all their scientific stuff, because how else will we make everyone else use it if we won't use it?"

I learn how to program BASIC and a little bit of FORTRAN, 'cause I was super cool.

And I was a little bit burned out programming Fortran.

When I left, it was Fortran 7.

Now, I had taken a Fortran class and I had worked as a TA in the computer lab, and so that somehow seemed like enough

He knew Fortran inside out, but that wouldn't have been a fun way to write it.

6-stage counters, I basically get what-- any old Fortran folks in here?

learned coding in high school in 1969 using punch cards, Fortran II, and an IBM 1620.

John Backus, already named as an IBM fellow for inventing FORTRAN, worked here also.

He printed out the source code in Fortran on our old dot matrix printer.

I should say that I did do-- I taught myself Fortran when I was an undergrad and did a program for a professor, a scattering

But while I was working on that, sort of as a break from writing Fortran code, I decided I'd ask a question.

There was a machine called the Bunker Rainbow 300, and somebody told me that the Fortran compiler for this machine was really amazingly fast.

idea what it is I'm special in a way I get to actually program a computer I got a Fortran manual and my one of my first

then uh turns out he says you aren't doing our class stuff I said what's Fortran he says this is not our Fortran

- Yeah, before DOS, they were largely a language company, so they had made BASIC for a lot of computers and they had a Fortran compiler and a Pascal compiler,

But yeah, so this is a book-length effort to justify my decision to be Athena, and not learn Fortran

And John Backus, the inventor, I think, of FORTRAN.

Oh and let me remind you how I started off on this path is when I went to my first programming assignment in high school was to write a Fortran program to find the first 100 Fibonacci numbers.

For a long time it was taught in C++ or Fortran.

And also what was the correlation, if she had any, to John Backus who did the Fortran Compiler?

And I knew it was a Fortran compiler.

And I kept making little charts like I'm working at a security agency trying to decode a secret code, but I knew it worked and I knew it was a Fortran compiler.
